As Siloviye Mashiny's PR Department reports, the shipment for the Porto Goes's new unit, with a power capacity of 13.56 MW, includes a hydraulic turbine and a hydro-generator. Representatives of the Russian company will be supervising the assembly works, scheduled for late July.
This is Siloviye Mashiny's first project undertaken in the Latin American country in the past twenty-five years. It has now launched several other joint projects with Brazil. Thus, for instance, under a contract signed in June 2003, it is preparing to manufacture equipment for the Corumba 3 hydro-electric power station (two hydro-electric generators, with a power capacity of 47.8 MW each). Also, pre-contractual work is now underway to supply equipment to the Brazilian hydro-electric power plant Murta (two hydro-electric generators, 61.5 MW). And at the year's end, the company will make a bid for the supply of electrical equipment
to the Estreito hydro-electric power station (eight generators, 138.65 MW each).
