GE  announced that it has received an order from AE Energia for seven TM2500 mobile aeroderivative gas turbine generator sets, services agreements and digital solutions for PRODEL.

The TM2500 units will be installed in Namibe, Huila and Cuando Cubango provinces and will be capable of providing the remaining 200MW of power for the government to achieve a targeted 1GW of electricity by end of 2018. The order’s multi-year service agreements for up to nine TM2500 generator sets will support optimum performance, efficiency and reliability of the equipment for a period of six years. The services agreements also include GE’s Predix based Asset Performance Management (APM) software.

GE’s Gas Power Systems business, chief commercial officer Scott Strazik said that their industry-leading TM2500 units deliver reliable and efficient power with speed, and with the addition of these seven units up to an additional 15 percent of the population of Angola can gain access to electricity. They are very proud to help achieve this significant milestone and look forward to continuing to support Angola’s ambitious energy goals in the years to come.
