China bans import of breakdown-prone gas-turbo generators from GE
10/8/2007 16:42
Gas-turbo generating units manufactured by the US-based GE and imported by
a power supply company in south China's Guangdong Province have suffered another
breakdown, the State Administration of Quality Inspection, Supervision and
Quarantine said today.
China has "banned the import of such gas-turbo
generators, and will return or impose compensation claims on those already
purchased," an official with the administration said.
He said that the gas
turbines of PG9171E generating units imported by Shenzhen Baochang Power Co, Ltd
in Shenzhen of Guangdong broke down in May and caused damages to the generating
units. In June last year, the generating units the company imported from GE also
incurred a severe breakdown.
The administration said that the gas-turbo
generating units have suffered breakdown for times, which incurred huge economic
losses for the Chinese user and threatened local power
supply.
