In addition to this, the company will also provide the necessary advisory services for the construction of the power plant.
Expected to begin operations by 2016, the units take the total power contribution from all the generating units to 405MW.
The CFB power plant will generate power for Mindanao Island, as part of the long term solution to its energy issues, in particular preventing the recurring blackouts the island has been suffering from.
Alstom vice president for industrial steam turbines Daniel Wahler said, "The company’s stellar track record as a leading energy solutions provider is the key reason why it was awarded this contract and this is a testament to the company’s cutting edge power solutions. We are proud to be partnering with FDCUI and NEPC to provide Philippines with a solid power infrastructure for its development."
