General Electric (GE) Unit to Elevate Coryton Facility in UK
General Electric Company’s (GE - Free Report) arm, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business secured a contract from U.K.-based independent power producer company InterGen to upgrade the latter’s 800 megawatts (MW) Coryton power plant. The Coryton facility is located 30 miles east of London, UK.
GE Vernova is the combined operations of GE Digital, Renewable Energy and GE Power. Its Gas Power business includes General Electric’s gas lifecycle business (including Power Services and Gas Power Systems businesses).
The Coryton power plant is powered by two GT26 gas turbines. Per the deal, GE will supply the high-efficiency (HE) upgrade for the existing GT26 gas turbine technology. The HE upgrade uses advanced technology across gas turbines, compressors and combustors that will increase Coryton facility’s power output capacity by roughly 77 MW. It will also boost the performance of the existing two gas turbines by combining GE’s H-Class and F-Class fleets with additional manufactured parts.
The upgradation will increase the efficiency of the Coryton power plant and will reduce its maintenance requirement. It will also decrease carbon discharge by about 67,500 tonnes every year which supports the U.K. government’s goal to reduce the country’s carbon footprint.
