Foster Wheeler Awarded Contract for 400 MW Power Plant

Foster Wheeler Italiana S.p.A. has been awarded a lump-sum turnkey EPC contract by SET S.r.l. for a 400 MW grassroots combined-cycle plant to be built at Teverola, Italy. The contract value was not disclosed.

Foster Wheeler Italiana will provide engineering, materials supply, erection, construction supervision, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up, and testing, up to commercial operation.

Foster Wheeler Italiana's Equipment Division will design and supply the HRSG. General Electric will supply the power package, which includes the gas turbine, the steam turbine, the associated generators, and auxiliary equipment.

The plant is a natural gas-fired power station and will produce electricity to be delivered to the Italian National Grid. The power island includes a multi-shaft arrangement consisting of a gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator, and a steam turbine, connected to an air-cooled condenser.

The new facility will be built in an area where Foster Wheeler Italiana, in partnership with Merloni, already owns and operates a 150 MW combined-cycle cogeneration plant.

SET is a project company. Its majority shareholder is Ratia Energie AG, a Swiss utility company, and its minority shareholder is Merloni S.p.A.

The plant is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2006.
