Algerian Contract for GE Energy Worth Close to US$1Billion
Algerian electric company Shariket Karhaba Koudiet Eddraouch Spa, owned by Sonelgaz and Sonatrach, has awarded a contract to GE and its consortium partner, the Spanish engineering firm Iberdrola Ingenieria y Construccion, for the construction of the Koudiet Eddraouch power plant in El-Tarf province, 700 kilometers east of Algiers. The new power plant with F-class gas turbine technology is intended to help meet the rapidly growing energy needs of eastern Algeria when it enters service at the end of 2011. GE’s contract is valued at nearly US$1 billion. Additionally, GE also is in the process of signing a contractual services agreement to provide maintenance and parts over 20 years.
The new combined-cycle facility is expected to produce 1200 MW of power, which would increase Algeria’s current installed generation capacity by approximately 18 percent. GE plans to manufacture the F-class gas turbines for the Koudiet Eddraouch at its facilities in Belfort, France. Previously, GE provided its F-class technology for the 1227 MW Hadjret En-Nouss plant and the 800 MW Skikda project located in Algéria.
