The deal is centred on the operation of the Gila River Power Station, one of the largest independent power plants in the US.
Located near Phoenix, Arizona the station has eight GE Frame 7FA gas turbines, eight heat recovery steam generators and is capable of producing 2,200MW of electrical power.
The deal comes after Wood Group GTS has previously won the contract to provide gas turbine upgrades, repairs and outage services to the facility and also recently secured a maintenance inspection contract for two gas turbines and one steam generator at the site.
“The Gila River Power Station was an early adopter of Wood Group GTS’ ECOMAX system, an automated gas turbine tuning technology that enables the operator to optimise gas turbine combustor and overall gas turbine performance on a real-time basis,” Wood Group said in a statement.
Frank Avery of Wood Group GTS said that the company had identified ways to increase the overall plant performance through increased output and efficiency.
