.

The order comes after China Nuclear Power Engineering Co (CNPEC), a subsidiary of Chinese utility China Guangdong Nuclear Power (CGNPC) and Dong Fang, signed an agreement for the design, manufacture and supply of the steam turbine-generator packages. The packages comprise an “Arabelle” steam turbine, a four-pole turbo generator, a condenser and moisture separator reheaters.

The model selected for this “Generation 2.5” nuclear power plant is based on the one currently being installed at the Ling Ao 2 extension project, under a contract signed in May 2005.

Alstom has been CGNPC’s and Dong Fang’s industrial partner since the construction of Daya Bay, the first large Chinese nuclear power plant.
