Alstom to build gas-fired cogen plant in Jurong

Alstom has been selected by Sembcorp to build a new 800-megawatt gas-fired combined cycle cogeneration plant in Singapore's Jurong island.

In a statement on Wednesday, Alstom said the construction of the plant would be carried out in two phases of 400 MW each.

"The engineering, procurement and construction for both phases is worth approximately US$688 million.

"This includes, for each phase, the supply of the entire unit and all associated equipment, including a GT26 gas turbine, steam turbine, turbo generator, heat recovery steam generator and ALSPA Series 6 integrated control system," it said.

The order for the 400 MW phase one, signed yesterday and worth approximately US$412.8 million, included a 18-year maintenance contract.

With the new plant, Sembcorp will roughly double its generation capacity in Singapore to over 1,600 MW, strengthening its position in Singapore's power market.

Alstom has a strong relationship with Sembcorp and built its existing gas-fired cogeneration plant, which is also Singapore's first cogen plant.

President of Alstom Power, Philippe Joubert, said the new order from Sembcorp was a demonstration of the performance, reliability and availability of the equipment.

"It is a milestone that underlines Alstom's competitiveness for combined cycle power plants in the region, and our ability to provide and service turnkey power plants," he said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
