GE Gas Power has signed an H-class gas turbine supply contract with Eneva, a Brazilian natural gas company, for its 350MW Azul á o power plant. Under the contract, GE will provide its 7HA. 02 Gas turbines are expected to help stabilize the power grid and support the growth of renewable energy in Brazil.

Eric Gray, president and CEO of GE Gas Power, said that the use of renewable energy is expanding in many countries around the world, but the grid infrastructure still needs efficient gas turbine technology to stabilize and support these variable technologies. The rapid growth of renewable energy has brought more and more arduous tasks to system operators and energy suppliers, that is, to continuously ensure the stability of the grid and reliable power supply.

GE's H-class gas turbine technology enjoys a high reputation for its flexibility, output, environmental performance and efficiency, which has led to its rapid development and maturity worldwide. We are honored to add new customers to the HA fleet. Eneva currently operates a 1.9GW power plant associated with Brazil's proprietary gas production. Keywords: overseas news, engineering news

GE has previously cooperated with Eneva to build more than six GE 7F gas turbines, which have been supplying power to Brazilian power plants for nearly a decade. Earlier this month, GE Gas Power cooperated with NTPC, an Indian energy company, to explore hydrogen co combustion in the gas turbines of NTPC's Kawase power plant in Gujarat, India. GE will demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen and natural gas mixed combustion in 9E gas turbine of 645MW combined cycle gas power plant.Editor/Xing Wentao
