Power plant support

GE Energy has announced new agreements with China to maintain and service two power plants in the Zhejiang Province.

The contracts, worth more than $128m (£90m), are aimed at supporting China’s environmental ambitions and will see GE provide maintenance and inspection services for two GE 9FA gas turbines at the 795.6MW Zhejiang Zheneng Zhenhai Power Plant in Ningbo.

The group also has a long-term contract with the Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company to handle parts, repairs and services for two GE 9Es in the Fujian Province. The facility operates a refinery with a capacity of four million tons per year using integrated gasification combined cycle technology.

Jack Wen, president and chief executive of GE Energy China, said: ‘GE has provided world-leading technology and equipment in China for decades. We are proud to continue this support to help China meet its energy demands and increase efficiency.
