Alstom wins big Polish clean coal power station deal

French power station and high-speed train group Alstom said on Monday it had signed a contract for over 900 million euros ($1.13 billion) for a 833 MegaWatt turnkey clean coal power plant at Belchatow in Poland.

Alstom will be the integrator for the plant, which it says is the biggest power plant ever built in Poland.

It will design, build and commission the lignite-fired plant and manufacture and supply all the main equipment.

The plant has a scheduled operational start date in October 2010. It was ordered by Polish utility BOT Elektrownia Belchatow SA.
