GE Expands Its Innovative Advanced Gas Path Technology to Fifth Gas Turbine Fleet and Announces First Adoption in the Cement Industry

• GE Announces Three New AGP Orders Globally with Saudi Cement, Dubai
  Electricity & Water Authority and Ohgishma Power Co. Ltd.
• Project with Saudi Cement Marks First Installation on a GE 6B Gas
  Turbine and the First in the Cement Industry
• Project with Ohgishma Power Marks First Win for 9F AGP Technology
  in Japan
• GEÔÇÖs AGP Technology Spans Its 6F, 7F, 9F, 9E and 6B Gas Turbine
  Fleets

BADEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GEÔÇÖs Power Services business (NYSE: GE) today announced another
significant series of milestones with its innovative Advanced
Gas Path (AGP) solutionÔÇöa win with Saudi Cement in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia that expands this technology to the fifth GE gas turbine
fleet, the 6B, and marks the first AGP installation in the cement
industry. In addition, its win with Ohgishma Power marks the first win
for GEÔÇÖs 9F AGP technology in Japan.

ÔÇ£Since 2010, our revolutionary AGP technology has been installed on 435
units across four GE gas turbine fleets in 39 countries on five
continents,ÔÇØ said Scott Strazik, president and CEO of GEÔÇÖs Power
Services business. ÔÇ£Now, we are expanding our AGP solution to GE 6B gas
turbines to increase output and availability on our fifth gas turbine
type. In certain industrial applications, the need for more megawatts,
efficiency and flexibility is paramount, and our AGP technology can help
cement companies like Saudi Cement increase their power capacity.ÔÇØ

In a deal that represents the first time GEÔÇÖs AGP solution will be
implemented to strengthen power generation productivity for the cement
industry globally, GE will upgrade Saudi
CementÔÇÖs three GE 6B gas turbines at
its Hofuf plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The upgrade will help
Saudi Cement increase power output and efficiency while reducing the
need to draw power from the national grid in support of the KingdomÔÇÖs
drive towards greater economic diversification. The AGP upgrade will
help scale up the combined output by a total of up to 16.9 percent
across the three turbines.

Mohammed AlGarni, CEO of Saudi Cement, said, ÔÇ£Power supply is both a key
input and one
of the major costs in our manufacturing process. Reliable, efficient
electricity supply is thus essential to the continuous operations of our
facility as well as our competitiveness. GEÔÇÖs Advanced Gas Path upgrade
solution will allow us to improve efficiencies and become more
self-sufficient in power production.ÔÇØ

GE also announced two other milestones with its AGP technology:

• GE signed a $52 million agreement with Dubai Electricity and Water
  Authority (DEWA) to install its AGP technology on three GE 9E gas
  turbines at the Jebel Ali Power & Desalination Station. The upgrade
  will be installed next year. The agreement aims to increase energy
  production, improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in the
  future. It supports efforts to achieve the Dubai Carbon Abatement
  Strategy, as well as improving DEWAÔÇÖs production efficiency, which
  increased by 28.86 percent between 2006 and 2017. The necessary
  improvements will be made to extend the life cycle of the gas turbines
  for an additional 12 years, increase production, improve efficiency
  and reduce emissions from these turbines.
• In its first 9F AGP installation in Japan, GE signed a service
  agreement with Ohgishma Power Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Tokyo Gas Co.
  Ltd. and Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K, to upgrade three GE 9F gas turbines
  with AGP, DLN2.6+ and OpFlex* technologies at the Ohgishima Power
  Station in Kanagawa. The upgrades will help Ogishima to improve
  efficiency by 2.5 percent and reduce its emissions level to 15 ppm
  nitrous oxide to help Tokyo Gas remain competitive and profitable in
  very dynamic power industry.
