GE Energy: At your service

Last week GE Energy broke ground on a service facility in Russia and today it is at work servicing four Frame 9FA gas turbines at China’s Fujian Jinjiang plant, located on the coast of Taiwan Strait.

The plant produces more than 1,560 megawatts of energy and is a key part of the local government’s initiative to increase the province’s power generation capacity to 3,500 megawatts by 2010.

This service agreement marks GE Energy’s second major service announcement in China this year. In March, GE reported the signing of two service and maintenance agreements for two Chinese power plants.

GE currently is managing service agreements for customers at more than 700 sites covering 2,000 turbines worldwide. GE Energy has been active in China for nearly a century and has provided the country with a wide range of products including more than 270 gas turbines, 70 steam turbines, more than 300 hydro turbines and more than 600 wind turbines.
