“We need our assets to operate at the highest availability, efficiency, and reliability levels as possible, as it is crucial for Serbia to have a secure energy supply.”

As part of the project, GE will deliver a steam turbine, full shaft line, retrofit solution for high-pressure, intermediate-pressure, and low-pressure turbine modules, as well as a new turbine governing controller system.

The company’s steam turbine retrofit will enable increased power output and reduce operational and maintenance costs, as well as carbon emissions through less coal consumption.

Additional upgrades include provision of 3D blades, stationary blades, new rotors, rotary blades, inner and outer casings, and other associated parts.
