Italian power company Ansaldo Energia has been awarded a 20-year maintenance contract for the gas turbines at the 6th October power plant in Cairo, Egypt.

The 1518.5MW plant is owned by Cairo Electricity Production Company and consists of an open cycle and a combined cycle phase.

Each of the two phases is equipped with four AE 94.2 gas turbines built at the Ansaldo Energia site in Genoa.

The new turnkey long term service agreement will cover all eight turbines and will replace the expiring frame service agreements currently in place.

“Service is a strategic asset for Ansaldo Energia, strengthening long term relationships with key customers and paving the road to keep enhancing our products,” said Giuseppe Marino, CEO of Ansaldo Energia.

The new service agreement will provide for parts supply, maintenance activities, repair of vanes, spare parts, and instrumentation, as well as staff training.
