Alstom India and NASL have been awarded a contract worth approximately Rs 206.7 crore by Gujarat State Electricity Corporation (GSECL) to renovate and modernize two steam turbines at the Ukai and Wanakbori thermal power stations, both situated in Gujarat, India. Alstom will perform full shaftline retrofits of the 200 MW BHEL-supplied LMZ design steam turbines at unit 4 of the 1350 MW Ukai power station and unit 3 of the 1470 MW Wanakbori power station.
The retrofits will increase turbine efficiency by around 14% from existing operating conditions thereby reducing coal consumption and CO2 emissions. The scope of each project includes engineering, supply, erection, commissioning and testing. Equipment will be manufactured at Alstom's facilities in India and Poland. The projects are scheduled to be commissioned in 2017.
Alstom is a global leader in power generation, power transmission and rail infrastructure. Present in India since 1911, Alstom has strong capabilities in engineering, manufacturing, project management and supply of products and solutions for infrastructure.
