GEBE?s replacement alternator delivered

CAY BAY--GEBE has taken delivery of a new alternator to replace the one that caught fire in March, leaving the company with ten megawatts less in power production capabilities, resulting in occasional capacity shortages.

The replacement alternator is being installed and, according to GEBE, should be operational in the next three weeks. The job, which includes further coupling, installation and commissioning of the unit, is being performed by W�rtsil� technicians who have been flown in for the assignment. Transportation of the piece of heavy equipment was done by Shajel N.V.

Once the 11.3MW engine is online, GEBE will be able to perform scheduled maintenance on other units and will be in a better position to meet peak demand during the upcoming high season.
