Alstom has been awarded a contract by RWE npower plc for the design and construction of a 2000 MW gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Pembrokeshire, Wales in the United Kingdom.
The plant will be built on the site of the previous oil-fired power station and will include five Alstom GT26 turbines and accompanying core components. With an output of approximately 2000 MW, it will be the largest and one of the most efficient of its kind in the UK, capable of supplying power to around three million homes.
This project is the second one that Alstom has signed with RWE npower in the UK. Alstom is also building the Centrica's Langage and E.On's Grain power plants. Including this latest contract, these four power plants will add close to 6 GW of new electrical power to the UK grid.
Approximately 40% of the UK energy fleet was built before 1975 and will need replacement in the short to medium term.

The development of Illichivsk fat-and-oil works was impossible without additional power supply under the conditions when local power company runs a shortfall. As a result the owner of the enterprise commissioned autonomous CHP plant designed on the base of four JMS 420 GS power units equipped with J 420 GS engines and Cummins PI 734 F generators. Power unit capacity is 1416 kW of electric and 1505 kW of thermal power.
The project is realized under Moscow energy program. The power unit is based on two
