HOUSTON, TEXAS (May 21, 2003) --- GE Aero Energy, a GE Power Systems business, has received a contract from Gama Boiler Technology of Ankara, Turkey to provide one LM2500+ with Dry Low Emissions (DLE) gas turbine-generator set.
The 26-megawatt LM2500+ HSPT gas turbine-generator set will be used by Ayen Ostim Enerji as part of the Ayen Ostim 35 MW Combined Cycle Project in Ankara, Turkey. The combined cycle power plant will also utilize a 10 MW steam turbine generator supplied by GE Thermodyne of France. The plant supplies a reliable power source to the Ostim Organized Industrial Zone and potentially excess power to the public grid.
The LM2500+ gas turbine-generator set will be packaged at the GE Aero Energy packaging facility in Houston, Texas, and delivered to the Ayen Ostim Combined Cycle Project in late August 2003. The unit is expected to begin simple-cycle operation in late 2003, and combined-cycle operation in early 2004. Natural gas will serve as the primary fuel.
