ALGIERS, ALGERIA—May 23, 2016—GE’s Distributed Power business (NYSE: GE) today announced U.K.-based Clarke Energy, GE’s authorized distributor of Jenbacher gas engines in Algeria, has been selected by the Cevital Group to supply two on-site power plants with a combined output of 37.6 megawatts (MW). The power plants will support the expansions of the group’s Brandt household electronic appliances factory in the city of Setif and its Laminoir factory in the city of Oran.
The natural gas-fueled stations will utilize four of GE’s 4.4-MW, J624 Jenbacher gas engines and five 4-MW J624 units to support the planned factory expansions. The projects represent the largest gas engine order for GE’s Distributed Power business and Clarke Energy in North Africa. Cevital, Algeria’s largest industrial conglomerate, covers a range of industries including food processing, automotive and electronic goods manufacturing and distribution.
GE’s Jenbacher J624 gas engines were selected for their durability and flexibility, which will be crucial since the Brandt factory is located at more than 1,000 meters above sea level. GE’s JenbacherJ624 units can maintain their efficient performance due to their twin-turbo charger technology, with no de-rating up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
