Alstom has received contracts to supply a power island (KA24) for Iberdrola’s Monterrey III combined-cycle power plant in Pesqueria, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
Under the €335m ($450m) contract, Alstom will supply major equipment and maintenance package for Iberdrola’s Monterrey III power plant.
The contract also includes a long-term service agreement (LTSA) for new unit five and for the existing four units.
The new unit, scheduled to be commissioned in 2016, comprises one GT24 gas turbine, a steam turbine and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG).
Additionally, the unit will use Alstom’s upgraded gas turbine technology to offers optimum reliability, operational flexibility, availability and performance to balance load production in the region, which has high power demands from industrial users.
With an installed capacity of approximately 338MW, the new unit will help Iberdrola keep up with growing energy needs in the region.
