GE Energy has signed service and maintenance agreements totaling $128 million for two power plants in China, including the largest gas turbine combined-cycle power plant in the Zhejiang Province.
GE will provide inspections and service for two 9FA gas turbines at the Zhejiang Zheneng Zhenhai power plant in Ningbo. The plant, which is the biggest gas turbine combined-cycle plant in the Zhejiang Province, has an output of 795.6 MWe.
GE also has a long-term contractual service agreement with the Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company to handle all parts, repairs and service for two GE 9Es at the company’s site in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. This represents China’s first CSA for 9E gas turbines. The project uses integrated gasification combined cycle technology and generates power from exhaust gases in the refining process. The Fujian facility operates a refinery with a capacity of four million tons per year. Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company is China’s largest joint venture in the refining and petrochemical industry.
GE currently is managing CSAs at more than 700 sites covering 2000 turbines worldwide. It has been active in China for nearly a century and has sold more than 270 gas turbines, 70 steam turbines, more than 300 hydro turbines and more than 600 wind turbines there.
