ALSTOM reports great GT24 s uccess at Monterrey III CCPP in MexicoPublished: Aug 8, 2003

Aug. 8, 2003 -- At the Monterrey III combined-cycle power plant in Mexico, the fourth and last GT24 unit received ProvisionalAcceptance Certificate (PAC) end of March 2003. This milestone was achieved 6 days ahead of contractual schedule.

The 1000MWe plant, owned by Iberdrola Energa Monterrey, SA de CV, a special purpose company established by Iberdrolain Spain, is composed of four KA24-1 ICS single-shaft combined-cycle power blocks, each equipped with a GT24 gasturbine, HRSG, steam turbine and generator.

Monterrey III is located approximately 15km from the city of Monterrey and has been built adjacent to Monterrey II, a 500MW CCPP that is also equipped with the GT24 technology.

The commercial operation for this plant is not the first great success for the plant. Already when the first three gas turbineblocks entered commercial operation in spring of 2002 it did so ahead of schedule. In addition, the 7-day reliability run wassuccessfully completed on all machines on the first attempt.

This represents another important milestone for the GT24/GT26 fleet, which has accumulated more than 600'000 OH.

Lake Road, USA (3xKA24 - 1)

ALSTOM is please to announce the recent success with the implementation of the upgrade package in the GT24 unit at theCCPP Lake Road in Connecticut, USA. The unit was handed over to the customer ahead of schedule.

The upgrade package is part of ALSTOM's performance improvement program for the GT24/GT26 product line. Thepackage implemented at Lake Road included an upgraded compressor, an optimized blade 2, an aerodynamically improved

exhaust diffuser and outlet guide vane, all of which contributed to increase the power output of the unit.

GT13E2 GAS TURBINE P RODUCT LINE

First successful firing at the Cockburn CCPP (1xKA13E2-1) in Australia

The first successful firing of the Cockburn Power Plant project in Australia was achieved on May 17th, 2003, almost a yearafter construction first commenced on the site.

The Cockburn Power Plant is a 240 MW combined-cycle plant for Western Power on a site adjacent to the existing Kwinanapower plant, 30 km south of Perth's CBD. Demonstrating ALSTOM's ability to provide integrated solutions, a seamless globalteam is responsible for the design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, delivery, supervision, site erection andcommissioning of one dual pressure, natural circulation, unfired Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) to suit anALSTOM GT13E2 Gas Turbine.

The scheduled completion date for the Cockburn plant is late 2003.

ALSTOM Wins a 320 million EUROS order from ALBA for a Power Plant in BahrainPress Release of April 28th, 2003

ALSTOM has been awarded an order worth ?320 million to supply a 650 MW power plant for the extension (Line 5) of theAluminium Bahrain (ALBA) smelter, a primary producer of high-grade aluminium in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

This Line 5 will expand ALBA's annual production capacity from the current 500,000 tonnes to 750,000 tonnes, making it oneof the largest single producers of aluminium in the world.

ALSTOM's order is for the addition of two combined cycle power plant blocks to the existing GT13E2 gas turbine unit. Eachblock consists of two GT13E2 gas turbines, two waste heat recovery boilers and one steam turbine unit including theassociated plant control and electrical distribution system. All major components for this project are ALSTOM's in-houseproven products.

The construction of this 650 MW power plant is about to begin and its commercial operation with the second combined cycleblock is due to start in summer 2005. This new contract includes a significant local content of approximately 18%, thusencouraging the development of Bahraini industry.

This order is the third project awarded by ALBA to ALSTOM. The first order was placed in 1990 for a 600 MW combinedcycle power plant, which included six gas turbines GT13D, and two steam turbines. The second contract was awarded in1995 for the supply of a GT13E2 gas turbine plant.

This new contract to ALSTOM illustrates the customer's satisfaction at the successive phases of this significant project.

On J une 3th, 2003, the Ruwais (4xGT13E2) project in the United Arab Emirates received the final of the three PAC's that thecontract provided.

ALSTOM won the USD 600 million turnkey order for the 500 MW gas fired power and desalination plant in Abu Dhabi in April1998. The plant is situated in the coastal industrial area of Ruwais, 230 kilometers west of the capital of Abu Dhabi City.

The contract included 4xGT13E2 gas turbines plus 3 waste heat boilers feeding desalination plant; sea water pumps and hvgrid connection.

The project has been executed in consortium with ALSTOM in Italy, who supplied the basic plant and Fisia who supplied thedesalination equipment.

GT11N2 GAS TURBINE P RODUCT LINE

PAC for the CCPP Sarnia 1xKA22N2-3 in Canada

A great milestone was reached on April 11th, 2003 when the last of the three GT11N2 gas turbine units at the Sarniacogeneration combined-cycle power plant received the Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC).

In November 2000, ALSTOM was awarded the over 75 million Euro contract for the supply of three GT11N2 gas turbinestogether with a steam turbine and associated auxiliary equipment for the 440 MW Sarnia plant. Located in Sarnia, Ontario,Canada, the natural gas fired cogeneration facility is the largest in the country, and it is fully operated by the customer,TransAlta Energy Corporation of Calgary, Alberta, a leading Canadian independent power producer. Although the customerTransAlta had some problems with the first 2 x GT11N2 units he was positively surprised for the efficient installation andcommissioning of the Sarnia units, which required less than 30 starts and less than 1000 EOH per unit. This is also a signthat the GT11N2's design is mature and reliable.

J apan Gas Turbines K.K. (JGT), a Joint-Venture company of ALSTOM and KAWASAKI executing gas turbine equipmentcontracts under the Turbomachinery business, has fully managed and executed the Sarnia project. Example of plants underthe project umbrella of J GT are Fortaleza (Brazil) and Chihuahua (Mexico).

Steam Turbines

ALSTOM wins contract to supply steam turbine retrofits in USA

ALSTOM has been awarded a contract by Lower Colorado River Authority to retrofit Units 1 & 2 steam turbines at the 2 x568 MW fossil fired Fayette Power Station in LaGrange, Texas.
