Ansaldo Energia wins gas power plant contract in Thailand

Ansaldo Energia has won a long term service agreement at the Glow Energy
Phase 5 gas power plant in Thailand.

Glow Energy Public Company Ltd awarded the contract to be carried out at the
328 MW plant located in Map Ta Phut Industrial Park, 200km southeast of
Bangkok.

The plant also produces 160 tonnes/hour of steam to support local industrial
purposes.

Glow Energy, one of the major private electricity generators in Thailand and
majority owned by Engie , operate Independent Power Producer (IPP) and
cogeneration facilities, most of which also operate as Small Power Producers
(SPP).

The power plant, commissioned in 2011, consists of one Siemens SGT5-4000F
gas turbine coupled to an electrical generator, heat recovery steam
generator and steam turbine/generator set. The 15-year LTSA covers planned
and unplanned maintenance, replacement capital parts and remote monitoring
and diagnostics (RM&D) for the Siemens gas turbine with inspection-only
required services on the generator.

Ansaldo Energia's recognized OEM-knowledge of this machine and its
established ability to service all 4000F power generation equipment with its
own technologies were keys for the award selection by Glow. The Italian firm
also provides its Ansaldo Energia's OSPT Solutions, this capability offers
the delivery of unique and multi-platform service options, allowing the
customer to optimize the maintenance life cycle costs of their power
generation assets.

The award by Glow also recognizes Ansaldo Energia's growing local presence &
capabilities in Southeast Asia, which includes supporting an established
full-scope LTSA in Thailand on a 2x1 combined cycle power plant with Ansaldo
Energia's own GT26 gas turbines.
