Under the terms, Alstom will design, install and commission a new Alstom-patented Hooped Pelton runner, which is an impulse turbine with buckets supported by two separate hoops, a new generator and new governor, as well as provide an exciter and controls for unit 7 of the Castaic hydropower plant located in the state of California. Commissioning is expected in 2014.
Located in Castaic, approximately 35 miles north of Los Angeles, the approximately 1,250MW hydropower plant is owned and operated by LADWP. Six of the seven units in the plant are pumped-storage units, while unit 7 is a conventional 55MW Pelton unit.
LADWP is the US’ largest municipal utility and has been providing reliable water and electric service to the city of Los Angeles for over 100 years. Alstom has already supplied LADWP with heat recovery steam generators, steam turbines and conventional...Alstom Hooped Pelton Runner to equip Castaic hydropower plant in California

Iberdrola selects Gamesa to repower Carland Cross in England
The project will repower the United Kingdom's most veteran wind farm with new technology to enable it to generate more energy using fewer wind turbines.
Gamesa will deliver and install 10 of its G80 turbines, each with capacity of 2MW, which will replace the current 15 turbines, specifically the WD24 produced by Vestas, each with capacity of 0.4MW.
Carland Cross, which began operating in 1992, is located 10 kilometers north of Truro in Cornwall in southwest England....

MidAmerican, First Solar start major construction on Topaz Solar Farm
The Topaz project is claimed to be the largest solar electric power plant in the world, when complete, providing enough energy to power approximately 160,000 average California homes.
The photovoltaic project will employ approximately 400 workers during its three-year construction period and generate nearly $417 million in local economic impact, the majority of which will be generated during construction; and will provide California with renewable electricity.
Paul Caudill, president of MidAmerican Solar, said: “A project of this size creates jobs and plays a major role in our nation’s long-term electric energy supply. In addition to providing clean energy and jobs, we’re committed to working hand-in-hand with stakeholders to demonstrate how large-scale solar projects and geographies, such as the Carrizo Plain, can co-exist and benefit native biological species...
