BHEL bags Euro 16.96 million contract for Thermal Power Project in Turkey
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has achieved a breakthough in its international business by making its maiden entry in the Turkish Power Market. Against stiff International Competitive Bidding (ICB), the company has bagged a contract for rehabilitation of 3 units of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) for the 430 MW Tuncbilek Thermal Power Project in Turkey on EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) basis. Valued at Euro 16.96 million, the order envisages dismantling, supply, civil works and erection & commissioning of the Electrostatic Precipitators. The order has been placed on BHEL by Electricity Generation Company (Turkish: Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. Genel Müdürlüğü; EÜAŞ) which is the largest electric power company in Turkey. EUAS is owned by the Turkish government and it generates and supplies electricity throughout the country. Turkey has embarked on a renovation and modernization (R&M) programme of its old thermal power projects and the present contract is aimed at reducing the emission levels drastically. For this prestigious contract, the Electrostatic Precipitators will be manufactured and supplied by BHEL’s Ranipet unit, Motors and other auxiliaries by its Bhopal facility and Controls by the company’s Bangalore unit. BHEL’s globalization strategies are yielding rich dividends and BHEL today has references in over seventy six countries in six continents.
