CBI member GE recently announced that it will supply five Frame 6FA gas turbine-generators for three power plants in eastern China's Zhejiang province, helping to provider cleaner and more efficient power for the province.

Designed for high efficiency and low emissions, the three projects support the provincial government's initiative to develop gas turbine cogeneration plants to replace less efficient coal-fired boilers, which will help reduce the environmental impact and boost energy efficiency in the region.

Scheduled to enter into commercial operation in December 2012, the three new plants will produce a total of approximately 575 megawatts of power in Zhejiang province.

Walter Wang, General Manager, Thermal Enterprise Commercial for GE Power & Water, said, "Each project will meet the electricity and heating demands of the surrounding industrial areas and residential districts with limited environmental impact, compared with older technology plants. With their midrange output, high efficiency, high exhaust energy for steam production and low emissions, our 6FA gas turbines are an excellent match for distributed energy applications such as these."
