GE will supply two Frame 9FA gas turbines and associated generators, which are expected to be shipped to the project site by the end of 2011 and installed by September 2012.
The scope of GE’s contract also includes controls systems, installation services, performance testing of the gas turbines and customer training.
The commercial operation of the full gas-fired power plant is expected by mid-2013.
The new plant is an expansion for the Guddu site, which already includes steam plants that have been in service for more than 40 years and a combined-cycle plant that has been operating with GE technology since the mid-1980s, the company said.
