Alstom has received a €330 million euro turnkey contract from Brazilian steel producer ThyssenKrupp CSA Companhia Siderúrgica to build a 490 MW turnkey combined cycle power plant, to be located in Sepetiba, in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.
The plant will be fuelled by blast furnace waste gas from a new steel mill, which will be built in parallel by the customer, with excess energy exported to the national grid.
Alstom will provide all engineering, procurement and construction services including balance of plant, civil works and erection. The power plant will include two GT11N2 gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators, one steam turbine and three turbo generators.
The project will be carried out in two phases, with the plant operating in simple cycle first.
