ALSTOM has received a Notification of Award, valued at some US $ 25 millions from the New York Power Authority, for refurbishment work at the St. Lawrence - FDR Power Project (942 MW), located on the St. Lawrence River in Massena, New York, US.

The scope of work covers the overhaul of a further 8 x 58.9 MW fixed blade propeller turbines and replacement of their runners. It also includes model-testing, supply of various components and repair work at the site.

Design and engineering for the turbine runners will start later this year, and manufacturing of the first unit is scheduled for 2006.

Installation of the eight units is scheduled to take place between 2007 and 2013. Since 1998, ALSTOM has been performing similar work for the New York Power Authority for the first eight units at St. Lawrence.

ALSTOM's North American Hydro unit in Denver is responsible for the management and execution of the project. Ron Miller, Senior Marketing Director for the US Hydro market, commented, "This order was won following a competitive bidding and it demonstrates the Power Authority's confidence in our capability based on our past performance."

ALSTOM is a global specialist in energy and transport infrastructure. The company serves the energy market through its activities in the fields of power generation and the transport market through its activities in rail and marine.
