GE has signed the deal with Huaneng Power International (HPI) and China Power International Development (CPI International). The project will help meet the growing power demand in northern and central China.
The company agreed to supply two ultra-supercritical steam turbines integrated with two turbo generators each with 660MW generation capacity for the Taihang power plant located in North China’s Shanxi Province.
Additionally, GE will deliver two 660MW ultra-supercritical steam turbines generators units for the Dabieshan power plant phase II project, which is considered as one of the backbone power providers in China’s Hubei Province.
GE plans to deliver the units for power plant, which are expected to meet the power needs of about one million homes in the region, in 2017.
GE Power rotating equipment general manager Martin Boller said: "With the winning of these projects, we further strengthen GE’s position and footprint in China’s STG market.
"As China has made energy efficiency and conservation a priority in its development strategy, we are well positioned and pleased to contribute to this strategy with our best-in-class technology and expertise."
In December 2015, GE signed an agreement with Shanxi Jincheng Coal Group to supply 12 Ecomagination qualified, 3.35MW J620 gas engines for an expansion of a coal mine methane (CMM) gas-fueled power plant at the Chengzhuang coal mine in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, China.
The project is intended to help reduce the environmental impacts of coal production.
