POWERING ALGERIA’S JOB GROWTH
To meet a growing demand for energy, Algeria is turning to GE
technology and solutions. SPE, an affi liate of Sonelgaz, the national
power company for this North African country of over 38 million
people, signed contracts in 2013 to deploy GE gas turbine technology
at nine power plants. The project will add nearly 9 gigawatts of
electricity to help Algeria satisfy power needs that have been
growing by 14% per year. In addition, GE and Sonelgaz are partnering
on a multi-year joint venture to build a facility to produce power
generation equipment locally, eventually producing more than
2 gigawatts of power generation equipment per year and creating,
in due course, nearly 1,000 direct and indirect jobs.
MOVE
ON TRACK FOR
GROWTH IN KAZAKHSTAN
GE is a strategic partner for Kazakhstan,
where rail transportation is crucial to the
country’s economic development. Working
with the state-owned railroad company,
Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ), we helped
it build an assembly plant in Astana,
Kazakhstan, that is now delivering state-of-
the-art Evolution Series locomotives while
also creating local job opportunities. Under
a long-term service agreement, we are
also maintaining 695 GE locomotives and
training GE and KTZ employees to ensure
that local personnel have the technical
expertise to keep the rail system on the
right track.
