GE AEROSPACE 
· E.ON's Award-Winning Shatura Plant Reduces CO2
Emissions
· Site Output Increases by 115 Million Kilowatt-Hours
MOSCOW, RUSSIA-January 17, 2012-One of Russia's most
efficient and modern combined-cycle power stations, located
at Shatura about 150 kilometers east of Moscow, recently
completed its first year of operation and has set new output
and efficiency standards for the site. Owned by Russian power
producer E.ON Russia, the plant features GE's (NYSE: GE)
advanced 109FA .
The heart of the 109FA combined-cycle system is GE's high
efficiency Frame , designed for power generators requiring
large blocks of reliable power. GE has more than 2,300 gas
turbines installed in combined-cycle plants around the world.
The scope of GE's contract for Shatura also included a and a
generator, a heat recovery steam generator and a .
The Shatura site is the first combined-cycle (steam and gas)
block of its kind in Russia. E.ON Russia estimates that this
has increased site output by 115 million kilowatt hours
because of the extension of the generating capacities of the
station last year. Also, the plant has lower CO2 emissions
than older and less efficient plants with a similar
capacity.
This project was recognized by the United Nations as the
first Russian carbon reduction joint implementation project
under the Kyoto Protocol in October 2010. E.ON and GE also
received a state award from the Russian Ministry of Energy
for the best technology used in implementing the Shatura
project in 2010. The new Shatura plant upgrades an existing
facility at the site, which has been producing electricity
since the mid-1920s.
(CSA). GE CSAs cover the supply of parts, repairs and field
services for maintenance outages of gas turbines and
generators. These long-term agreements provide customers with
predictable maintenance costs while ensuring a steady flow of
revenue from power plant operations. To date, GE has
long-term service agreements including CSAs in place at more
than 700 sites worldwide.
Cristiano Tortelli, president and CEO, GE Energy, Central and
Eastern Europe, Russia and CIS, said, "Shatura is one of
several key projects that GE won in Russia. It demonstrates
the clear progress of GE's localization initiative in Russia.
We are here to support the modernization of the Russian
energy industry by providing some of the most advanced and
efficient technologies available today."
While Shatura marked the first installation of a GE 109FA
combined-cycle system in Russia, the same technology has been
applied for the Surgutskaya GRES-2 plant in Surgut, the
largest power generation facility in Russia. Two new blocks
of Surgutskaya GRES-2, , have two GE Frame 9FA Gas Turbines
and also are achieving high performance in output, efficiency
and emissions control.
GE Energy has been active in Russia since the early 1900s,
supplying equipment and services to develop the country's
energy infrastructure. Today, more than 400 gas turbines, 65
steam turbines, 700 compressors and over 600 units of other
equipment including air coolers, condensers, gas separators
and pumps produced by GE Energy and GE Oil & Gas have been
installed in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent
States (CIS).
, a service center that is located in the Kaluga Region and
dedicated to supporting the company's installed base of
equipment. In September of 2011, GE signed a joint venture
agreement with INTER RAO UES and UEC to localize production
of GE's 6FA Gas Turbines in Rybinsk, Russia. Since March
2008, GE's MS5002E Gas Turbines have been , tested and sold
in Russia as 'LADOGA 32' units under a technology transfer
and localization licensing agreement between GE and REP
Holding (REPH).
