The extension of ALBA’s latest aluminium smelter, Potline 6, resulted in the need for a new 1800 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant, in addition to an upgrade and expansion of their existing distribution network. 

The new ISO rated 1833 MW power plant used 3 GE 9HA.01 gas turbines, the first application of H-class technology in a smelter. This high-efficiency technology will help ALBA to deliver low life cycle costs per megawatt, as well as to reduce the environmental footprint of its activities.
