ALSTOM CHOSEN
FOR THE LARGEST HYDRO PROJECT IN INDIA
ALSTOM has been selected for a €265 million project with India's National
Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) for the turnkey supply of power
generation equipment to the Subansiri Hydro Power Project, in Assam, India. The
project will be the largest hydropower scheme in the country.
NHPC is one of the largest organisations for hydro-power development in India
and has awarded ALSTOM this important contract owing to ALSTOM's extensive
experience in such projects, combined with its capability to produce the
majority of the equipment in India.
ALSTOM's scope of supply for the 2000 MW power plant covers electro-mechanical
equipment including: turbines, generators, balance of plant, plant control and
monitoring systems. The main components will be manufactured at ALSTOM's
newly-expanded factory in Baroda, India.
The plant is due to come into operation in 2010. Once completed, the hydro power
station will increase the total power generation capacity of India by 2%.
This order confirms the strong position of ALSTOM and its development strategy
in the Indian power generation market.
Philippe Joubert, President of ALSTOM's Power Turbo Systems and Power
Environment Sectors, commented: "ALSTOM has more than a 30% share of world hydro
power generation and we consider India to be one of the most important
developing markets. We have been investing in our Baroda factory in order to
develop it into a world hub for hydro projects. We are very pleased to have been
selected for this project, which will be the biggest hydro project in the
country: it confirms that our commitment to India is the right strategy for
ALSTOM."

WORTH 110 MILLION EUROS
Santiago Metro, the operator of the metro in Chile's capital, has awarded ALSTOM
three contracts, worth some €110 million, as part of its extension programme for
line 2 north Recoleta Avenue.
The first contract is worth about €52 million and covers the supply of 42 metro
cars and a 2-year supervision of maintenance of the capital's metro.
Furthermore, Santiago Metro exercised the option included in the above contract
for an additional 43 metro cars and a 2-year supervision of maintenance of these
cars. The option has a value of some €44 million.
Finally, Santiago Metro has awarded ALSTOM two other contracts for signalling
equipment and automatic train control totalling €14 million.
ALSTOM will manufacture this equipment in its factories in Brazil and France.
Delivery will start in mid 2007.
ALSTOM has supplied rolling stock to Santiago Metro over the past 30 years. The
entire current fleet composed of 488 cars, running on 3 lines, was built by
ALSTOM. An additional 180 cars for line 4 are now being manufactured in Brazil.
44 of these cars have already been delivered according to schedule.

ALSTOM WINS 130 MILLION EURO CONTRACT FOR TURNKEY
POWER PLANT PROJECT IN AUSTRALIA
ALSTOM has won a €130 million contract from independent power producer Braemar
Power Project Pty Ltd, for the supply of a turnkey 450 MW open-cycle gas-fired
power plant at Braemar, in Queensland, Australia.
ALSTOM will design, supply, install and commission the entire power plant,
consisting of 3 x ALSTOM GT13E2 gas turbines, step-up transformers, plant
control systems and balance of plant.
The site has been designed to incorporate a further three gas turbine units at a
later date with adequate space for the turbines to be converted to combined
cycle in the future.
Construction of the all three units is due to begin at the end of May with
commercial operation expected in July 2006. When complete, the plant will help
meet the ever increasing electricity demands of the state of Queensland.
This order brings the total of GT13E2 machines sold by ALSTOM to 96 units, six
of which are in Australia. It follows a contract won by ALSTOM for two of the
same units in March, to be supplied to a power plant in Singapore for Keppel
Merlimau Cogen Pte Ltd. The fleet has now accumulated more than 2,300,000
operating hours.
Philippe Joubert, President of ALSTOM's Power Turbo Systems and Power
Environment Sectors, said: "This project adds to our growing fleet of gas
turbine power plants in Australia and underscores our leading position as a
technology and plant supplier to the power generation industry."
