Alstom wins new Belo Monte contracts

16 July 2015


Alstom is to provide equipment to the 11.2GW Belo Monte hydroelectric complex on the Xingu River in Brazil's Para state after recently concluding two contracts with developer Norte Energia.

The first contract, awarded to the ELM Consortium that includes Alstom with Andritz and Voith, is an amendment to an existing contract and covers the supply of a new turbine and two generators to the hydroelectric site by 2018. Alstom's share in ELM Consortium is worth around €70 million - or 33% of the order.

The second contract will be carried out by an Alstom-led consortium with Bardella for the supply of hydro mechanical equipment. The total amount of the second contract is €14 million, with an Alstom's share of €4.3 million. The delivery is scheduled to be completed in November 2016.

In January 2012 the Alstom-led consortium including Voith and Andritz was chosen to supply 20 turbine-generator sets (14 Francis turbine-generator of 611MW each for Belo Monte hydropower plant and 6 Bulb turbine-generators with rated power -on the shaft - of 39,8MW each for Pimental hydropower plant) and other electromechanical equipment of these plants. As part of this provision, Alstom is in charge of delivering to Belo Monte seven Francis turbine-generator sets, hydro mechanical equipment, bus bars and gas insulated substations (GIS) to the 18 generator units of the plant.
