ALSTOM WINS MAJOR ORDER TO SUPPLY
A COMBINED-CYCLE POWER PLANT IN VIETNAM
GT13E2 TECHNOLOGY WILL HELP TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND FOR
ELECTRICAL POWER IN VIETNAM
ALSTOM, in consortium with Marubeni Corporation, Japan and Vietnam Machinery
Erection Co. ("LILAMA"), has been awarded a turnkey contract to build a 450 MW
combined-cycle power plant in the existing Phu My power complex located in the
Baria Vung-Tau province of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
The contract, worth around 238 million euro, with an ALSTOM share of
approximately 165 million euro, was placed by Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), the
National Utility. The Phu My 4 combined-cycle plant will be operational by
mid-year 2004 and will strongly support the power development programme in the
country.
ALSTOM, as consortium leader, will supply two GT13E2 gas turbines, including
generators, the Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG's) and the steam turbine
generator. In addition, ALSTOM will also be responsible for the main mechanical
equipment and control system of the power island. This consortium arrangement
reflects the strengths of ALSTOM in co-operating successfully with overseas
companies.
ALSTOM has delivered GT13E2 technology to Phu My previously. In early 1997, two
gas turbines were commissioned on schedule in simple-cycle mode and since then
they have been running smoothly, supplying power to the Vietnamese grid. In
2001, ALSTOM was awarded another order to convert the existing GT13E2
simple-cycle plant into a combined-cycle installation, gaining an additional
power generation capacity of 160 MW which is scheduled for completion in the
spring of 2003. This new order confirms, once again, EVN's confidence in and
satisfaction with ALSTOM's technology and services.
The order brings the total of GT13E2 machines sold to 77 units. The fleet has
accumulated more than 1,300,000 operating hours.
ALSTOM IS THE GLOBAL SPECIALIST IN ENERGY AND TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE. THE
COMPANY SERVES THE ENERGY MARKET THROUGH ITS ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELDS OF POWER
GENERATION AND POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION, AND THE TRANSPORT MARKET

IN OVER 70 COUNTRIES.

ALSTOM WINS MAJOR POWER TRANSMISSION
CONTRACT IN CHILE
A consortium led by ALSTOM has won a 92 million euro turnkey series capacitor
system (SCS) contract with TRANSELEC, the main Chilean high-voltage transmission
operator, to strengthen its transmission grid. ALSTOM's share of this contract
is 56 million euros.
The consortium, which includes Japanese firm Mitsubishi Electric Company
(MELCO), beat off competition from three other world-class competitors to supply
a full turnkey solution to transmit electricity produced by the RALCO 570 MW
hydro-power plant, currently under construction by ALSTOM on behalf of ENDESA,
within central Chile.
The scope of this project includes the construction of four 500 kV SCS, a new
500 kV/220kV substation at Charrua, the expansion of two 500 kV substations at
Ancoa and Alto Jahuel, the supply of 1,500 MVA autotransformers, 500 kV
reactors, a digital protection and control system and all related civil works,
erection, testing and commissioning.
By using SCS technology, TRANSELEC can increase the transfer capacity of its
500kV system, thereby avoiding the costly and time-consuming process of building
new transmission lines. The whole infrastructure is expected to be in operation
by mid-2004.
The contract -one of the most important Chilean transmission project in the last
10 years - follows on from another SCS contract, in Vietnam, won by ALSTOM in
recent months, thus confirming the company's strength in the field.
"This is a major achievement for ALSTOM in the growing market of SCS," said
Philippe Joubert, President of ALSTOM's Transmission and Distribution Sector.
"By improving the grid efficiency, this technology allows network operators to
optimise their assets and offers a better service to the final customer without
further disruption to the environment."

ALSTOM AWARDED 137 MILLION EURO CONTRACT BY
WASHINGTON, DC METRO TO SUPPLY 62 SUBWAY CARS
THE CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDES AN PPTION FOR 120 ADDITIONAL CARS
The Washington Metropolitan Transportation Authority (WMATA) Board of Directors
voted today to award ALSTOM a 137 million euro contract for the design and
manufacture of 62 new heavy rail subway cars. The cars are for use on the Blue
Line extension to the Largo Town Center and for service growth. The contract
includes the cars, spare parts, special tools and training.
The contract also includes an option to supply an additional 120 new subway cars
for use on the Orange Line extension to Tysons Corner and projected service
growth. The option has a potential value of 205 million euros to ALSTOM if
exercised by WMATA.
The new cars will be assembled in ALSTOM's facilities in Hornell, near New York.
The cars will be fitted with ALSTOM's proven propulsion technology, the ONIXTM
traction drives, and an advanced cab signaling system.
Michel Moreau, President of ALSTOM's Transport sector, said: "This new contract
with WMATA, which follows their order placed in 2000 for the overhaul of 364
subway cars, is a further demonstration of our customer's confidence in ALSTOM's
products and services. This is the latest of a series of orders received for the
North American market, confirming our true competitive advantage in this
region."
After a competitive procurement process, WMATA stated that ALSTOM provided the
"best value" to the Authority. In particular, WMATA technical evaluation team
selected ALSTOM as having the best overall technical proposal. ALSTOM was ranked
highest in technical design, engineering and capability. Other factors noted in
WMATA's decision were ALSTOM's excellence in testing and training, as well as
management approach, credible delivery schedule and past performance.
In addition, ALSTOM is also currently providing new Comet V passenger rail
coaches for the expanding New Jersey Transit fleet as well as overhauling subway
cars for WMATA and the Chicago Transit Authority.
