EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) announced Monday that it has awarded GE Power, a division of GE, an order for a turnkey combined-cycle power plant, including three HA gas turbines that it will install to power the world’s largest single-site smelter. With this order GE Power gains first ever entry to the Gulf with its H-Class turbines. In fact, this project will mark the first ever use of H-Class turbines in aluminium smelting in the entire world.

For GE, winning of this order from Alba carries further significance as the multi-year agreement (MYA) it has entered with the Gulf company through it represents the first MYA for HA gas turbines in the Gulf region.
