Sembcorp Cogen said on Wednesday that it had signed a long-term service agreement with France-headquartered energy company Alstom to revamp its Sembcorp Cogen Power Plant in the Sakra district of Jurong Island.
Under the 12-year contract, Alstom, which built the power point in 2001, will perform major and minor overhauls for the plant\'s steam turbine and three generators, including auxiliaries.
The 815-megawatt power plant was SembCogen\'s first power plant in Singapore and the first privately developed independent power plant in the country. It was also the first to introduce combined cycle gas turbine technology to Singapore, and remains the country\'s largest cogeneration facility, said the Sembcorp Utilities subsidiary.
Separately, Alstom is constructing an additional 400-megawatt Combined Cycle Cogeneration Power Plant for SembCogen at the Banyan district of Jurong Island. Handover of the Banyan facility is scheduled for spring 2014.
