French engineering group Alstom announced a big strategic development on a global scale with Chinese partner SEC, in the field of coal-fired power generation.

Alstom and Shanghai Electric Group SEC are to create a joint venture for their global activities in supplying boilers for such power generating facilities, the company said.

The two groups see the new venture becoming the world leader in its field since sales by the two groups in this sector totaled about 2.5 billion euros US$3.64 billion last year, Alstom said.
