- Toshiba has concluded a package deal
agreement for equipment supply for geothermal power plants in
Turkey
- Subject to steam conditions, etc.,
Toshiba is given preferential negotiation rights for supplying
steam turbines and generators for three plants
Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that it has
concluded a package deal agreement (PDA) with Zorlu Energy Group,
an independent power producer and member of Turkey's Zorlu
Holdings, for the supply of steam turbines and generators (STGs)
for geothermal power plants that Zorlu Energy Group develops to
construct in Turkey.
Under the terms of the PDA, Zorlu Energy Group will investigate
steam flow, pressure levels and so on in three locations where
Zorlu Energy Group plans to construct plants by October 2020, and
if the results of survey meet the agreed terms and conditions,
Toshiba is to exclusively discuss and negotiate for supply of STGs
for all three plants.
Commenting on the contract, Mr. Takao Konishi, Vice President of
the Thermal & Hydro Power Systems & Services Division in
Toshiba's Energy Systems & Solutions Company said, "Toshiba and
Zorlu Energy Group have successfully been working together on Unit
1, 2 of the Kizildere III Geothermal Power Plant and Alasehir
Geothermal Power Plant and I am certain that the excellent
performance and advanced technology of our STG can contribute even
more to geothermal power supply in Turkey.”
Energy consumption in Turkey is growing fast, driven by
population growth and economic development, and both the government
and the private sector are promoting projects to increase capacity.
Toshiba concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Zorlu
Energy Group in January 2016, covering construction of geothermal,
thermal and hydro power plants.
Toshiba has an unrivaled record in the global geothermal power
market. It delivered Japan's first commercial-use geothermal steam
turbine and generator in 1966, and since then has delivered 54
turbines around the world, with a total capacity of 3,519
megawatts. As the source of approximately 23%* of the world's
installed geothermal capacity, Toshiba is the global top supplier.
Toshiba will continue to promote high-efficiency STGs for
geothermal plants in Turkey, East Africa, South America and other
promising markets, where electricity demand is expected to increase
in the future.
