15 April 2008 - GE Energy's F-class gas turbine technology has been selected for the extension of an existing combined-cycle power plant at Granadilla on Tenerife, one of Spain's Canary Islands.
Under a contract worth in excess of €90m ($143m), GE Energy will supply Frame 6FA gas turbines and additional equipment and services to Unión Eléctrica de Canarias Generación S.A.U., a wholly owned subsidiary of Endesa, Spain's largest electric utility.
The machines will join two other Frame 6FA gas turbines already operating at the site.
In addition to the Frame 6FA gas turbines, GE will also supply a SC5 steam turbine for the Granadilla combined-cycle plant expansion, with an expected total output of nearly 230 MW.
The facility is expected to enter commercial operation in phases: gas turbines in second quarter 2009 and the steam cycle in third quarter 2010.
The Frame 6FA gas turbines will be manufactured in GE's facility in Belfort, France, while the SC 5 steam turbine will be manufactured in GE's steam turbine plant in Schenectady, NY, USA.
The scope of GE's contract also includes generators, gas and steam turbines auxiliaries, heat recovery steam generators, a plant distributed control system, technical advisory services during erection and commissioning, and training.
Tecnicas Reunidas S.A., GE's Spanish consortium partner in this project, will design and supply the balance-of-plant equipment and plans to provide civil works, erection and commissioning of the plant at the site.
