2011 | New contracts in China reinforce Alstom’s position as the country’s well established supplier of nuclear equipment
Alstom, partnering with Shaanxi Diesel Heavy Industry, has won a contract to supply emergency diesel generators (EDGs) for the Chinese Tianwan nuclear power plant, and at the same time secured contracts to supply gas stripping and evaporation unit equipments to the Ningde, Fangchenggang, Yangjiang, Fuqing and Tianwan nuclear power plants. The contracts reinforce Alstom’s position as a key equipment supplier of nuclear equipment to China.
Worth approximately €40 million in total, the contracts were signed with CNPE, the EPC contracting arm of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and with CNPEC, the EPC contracting arm of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC), respectively.
Under the terms of the agreements, Alstom will supply five EDGs to Tianwan (for the plants’ units 5 and 6) in Jiangsu, and will provide five nuclear plants (Ningde’s units 3 and 4, Fangchenggang’s units 1 and 2, Yangjiang’s units 3 and 4, Fuqing’s units 3 and 4 as well as Tianwan’s units 5 and 6) with Liquid Purification Equipments (LPE) by evaporation-stripping. All these equipments will be used on CPR 1000 reactors, the pressurized reactors modified and improved by Chinese technology.
“These latest contracts with CNNC and CGNPC demonstrate our clients’ confidence in Alstom’s nuclear products and technology, further consolidating our position as a well established supplier of essential equipment to Chinese nuclear power plants. We are proud to further contribute to helping China meet its nuclear objectives ,” says Richard Yeung, Head of Alstom Power China.
As a leading supplier for China’s nuclear industry, Alstom has been supporting the development of China’s nuclear power industry ever since its involvement in the construction of Daya Bay, China’s first major nuclear power plant, twenty years ago. Partnering with Dongfang, Alstom has been involved in most of China’s major nuclear projects such as Taishan, Ling Ao I and II, Hongyanhe and many others by supplying key nuclear equipment, including Alstom’s ARABELLE™** turbine-generator package featuring the world’s most powerful steam turbine.
The projects’ equipment will mostly be manufactured in China by the Alstom Wuhan Engineering and Technology Company Ltd. (AWEC), which has a proven track record in high standard engineering, project management and procurement. In order to meet the stringent requirements of the nuclear Industry, the company has set up high standard sourcing and logistics processes as well as a strong project and quality management.
