TOSHIBA TO SUPPLY STEAM TURBINE AND GENERATOR TO ALLEN COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT
TOKYO -Toshiba Corp has received an order to supply a 472-megawatt steam turbine and generator (STG) for the Allen Combined Cycle Power Plant being constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the US- government-owned power utility. The STG will be delivered in October 2016, and the plant is scheduled to come on line in June 2018.
The plant, a combined cycle power plant that improves generating efficiency by deploying both gas turbines and a steam turbine, is being constructed to comply with state and federal clean air act agreements. Among other factors, TVA's evaluation of Toshiba's experience, performance and reliability resulted in the order for the plant. With this order, Toshiba reached the milestone of a cumulative total for 100 orders for STG in North America.
