10 February 2006 - The world's largest lignite fired power plant will be built in Neurath, Germany after Alstom was awarded a €450m ($539m) contract for its construction by the utility RWE Power.

Alstom said the new Neurath power plant would have a net capacity of 2100 MW and would feature some of the most advanced steam turbine and generator technology in the world.

Under the contract, Alstom will carry out the overall plant engineering. The company will also supply, erect and commission two steam turbine islands including condensers and, in a consortium with another company, deliver two steam generators. The work at the building site for the construction of the double-unit plant started last month.

The Neurath power plant will use advanced technology resulting in high efficiency and considerably reduced carbon dioxide emissions per kWh, as compared with existing lignite fired power plants, Alstom said.

The project constitutes the largest investment RWE Power has ever made in power generation.
