GE wins $2.7bn contracts for nine power plants in Algeria.

General Electric Company (GE) has secured three contracts worth $2.7bn from Societe Algerienne de Production d'electricite (SPE), an affiliate of Sonelgaz, to supply heavy-duty gas turbine combined-cycle and aeroderivative gas turbine technology for nine power plants in Algeria.

Under the three contracts, GE will supply a total of 26 heavy-duty gas turbines, 12 steam turbines and 38 generators for the nine plants located in the northern part of the country.

The first contract worth $1.9bn will see GE supplying 9F 3-series gas turbines equipped with its Dry Low NOx (DLN) dual-fuel combustion technology for six new combined-cycle power plants, which will have a total capacity of more than 8GW, enough to power around eight million Algerian households. As per the second contract, GE delivered its 24 trailer-mounted TM2500+ advanced aeroderivative gas turbines to two fast-track projects totaling 528MW capacity, which will help in meeting the country's 2013 summer peak electricity demand.

The third contract valued at $150m, requires GE to supply power generation equipment to SPE's 370MW Hassi R'mel simple-cycle gas turbine plant.

Areva begins installation of first turbines at two offshore wind farms in German North Sea.

Areva has commenced the installation phase of the first Areva M5000 turbines at the Global Tech I offshore wind farm and Trianel Windpark Borkum in the German North Sea.

The 400MW Global Tech I project features 80 wind turbines of 5MW each and will generate more than 1.4 billion kWh of electricity annually, which is enough to power around 445,000 households.

Having already installed an offshore transformer station in May 2013, the crane ship Vidar from HOCHTIEF Solutions is now deployed at the project construction site for the installation of rotor blades.

Panda Power Funds acquires 750MW Stonewall combined cycle project in Virginia.

US-based private equity firm, Panda Power Funds, has acquired a majority interest in the proposed 750MW Stonewall combined cycle project, a natural gas-fired power plant to be located in an industrial-zoned area of Loudoun County, Virginia.

Originally proposed by Green Energy Partners / Stonewall, the project will include two identical natural gas-fired combined cycle turbines, each with its own duct-fired heat recovery steam generator, one steam turbine generator, a ten-cell mechanical draft cooling tower, a natural gas-fired auxiliary boiler, and a fuel heater.

The developers proposed to use either General Electric (7FA.05) or Siemens (SGT6-5000F5) natural gas-fired combined cycle turbines at the plant, which will span across a 101-acre parcel around four miles south/southeast of Leesburg.

Once operational during the spring of 2017, the plant will generate enough electricity to supply the power needs of around 750,000 homes in the Northern Virginia / Washington DC metropolitan area and will meet new carbon emissions standards proposed by the US Environment Protection Agency.
