Toshiba America Energy Systems Corporation (TAES) has received Notice to
Proceed from the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of
Reclamation, Upper Colorado Regional Office, for generator rewinds and
excitation system replacements at the Blue Mesa, Morrow Point and
Crystal hydroelectric power plants.
Toshiba will design, manufacture, install and commission new generator
stators and windings. Montreal-based Reivax North America Inc. will
design, manufacture and commission the new excitation systems, RTX
Power, which will also be installed by TAES.
“This award is the result of significant time and effort on the part of
the project team to build a strong relationship with the customer and to
understand and meet the government’s expectations,” said TAES President
and CEO Ali Azad. “It is an important win for our business, and
demonstrates our commitment to the U.S. hydro market and, more
importantly, enhancing the U.S. carbon-free and renewable power
generation portfolio,” he added.
Delivery of the excitation system for the Crystal power plant is planned
for January 2017, followed by the two for Morrow Point in September
2017. The two for Blue Mesa will be delivered separately, one in
September 2018 and the other in September 2019; that is also the planned
timeframe for the Blue Mesa generator rehabilitation.
