GE Supplies Turbines to Turkey

GE will supply a 48-megawatt aeroderivative gas turbine to independent power producer Bis Enerji Elektrik Uretim for the expansion of a natural gas-fired power plant in Bursa, Turkey.

The new turbine and its steam turbine–generator will increase the cogeneration plant’s installed capacity from 410 megawatts to 495 megawatts, according to a company statement. The plant currently consists of GE equipment including six aeroderivative gas turbines, one heavy-duty gas turbine and two steam turbines.

The plant upgrade is scheduled to be completed in August 2012.
