For power generation developers, selecting equipment requires a clear understanding of turbine configuration, project compatibility and scope of supply. SAHM Horizon is coordinating an Ansaldo Energia AE94.3A4 combined-cycle power island opportunity, bringing together a gas turbine, steam turbine, generators and heat recovery steam generator for qualified buyers to evaluate.
The seller describes the equipment as unused, never installed or commissioned, and with zero fired hours, held in preserved project-cargo storage. The package is configured for 50 Hz power generation, with an approximate 446.9 MW combined nameplate sum.
For utilities, independent power producers and EPC contractors assessing large-scale generation projects, this opportunity offers a defined equipment package supported by a structured technical review and inspection process.
Ansaldo AE94.3A4 Gas Turbine Configuration
The gas turbine at the center of the package is the Ansaldo Energia AE94.3A4, listed in the buyer documentation with a 280.7 MW ISO gross rating.
Its documented configuration includes:
- Annular dry low-NOx combustion using VeLoNox™ technology.
- A 24-burner combustion arrangement.
- A rotational speed of 3,000 rpm.
- A direct-coupled generator configuration.
- Native 50 Hz operation.
These specifications provide a starting point for project evaluation. Site-specific output, fuel compatibility, emissions compliance and operating requirements must be confirmed through engineering review.
Combined-Cycle Equipment Scope
The offered power island combines the gas turbine with an RH-TCDF-33 steam turbine and a triple-pressure heat recovery steam generator with hot reheat.
The steam turbine is described as a three-cylinder reheat condensing machine, incorporating high-pressure, intermediate-pressure and double-flow low-pressure sections. Its listed nameplate output is 166.183 MW.
The package also identifies air-cooled generators for the gas and steam turbines, alongside an HRSG with supplementary firing capability. Supporting equipment is described in a detailed equipment schedule, with the final inventory subject to physical verification.
For buyers, this makes scope reconciliation a central part of the acquisition process: the equipment schedule, available components and requirements of the destination site must align before project commitments are made.
Understanding the Power Output Figures
The approximate 446.9 MW figure is the sum of the stated gas turbine and steam turbine ratings. It should not be treated as a guaranteed net plant output.
The buyer package separately identifies a +11.9°C design case showing:
- 418.2 MW net output, with a stated 58.01% LHV efficiency.
- 448.1 MW output with supplementary firing.
These figures represent different rating bases and operating conditions. They should be assessed separately during technical due diligence. Tested performance, heat rate and emissions remain subject to verification.
For a prospective buyer, the relevant question is how the equipment will perform at the intended site, under the project’s ambient conditions, cooling arrangement, fuel specification and operating profile.
Unused Equipment with a Structured Inspection Process
The seller represents the equipment as never started, installed or commissioned, with zero fired hours and preserved storage.
Assessing its present condition requires a review of preservation records, storage history, equipment completeness and inspection findings. SAHM Horizon’s buyer package outlines a process for qualified buyers and their technical advisers to review documentation and arrange physical inspection.
Available records are described as including OEM technical documentation, a detailed equipment schedule, a relocation scope of supply and certificates of origin. Ownership records, authority to sell and the chain of title are also identified as matters requiring verification.
This process helps buyers establish what is available, its condition and the work required to prepare it for the proposed project.
Project Compatibility and Scope Boundaries
The package is natively configured for 50 Hz grids. Any proposed deployment on a 60 Hz system requires an independent engineering study; conversion should not be assumed.
Buyers should also account for a key scope exclusion: the condenser is not included. The condenser and cooling arrangement must be evaluated against the destination site’s requirements.
The inclusion of other major items—such as the main step-up transformer, generator circuit breaker and bus duct—must be confirmed against the equipment schedule. Civil works, grid connection and site integration requirements also need to be established during project development.
These checks allow utilities, developers and EPC contractors to define the complete project scope beyond the offered power island.
Discuss Your Power Generation Requirements with SAHM Horizon
SAHM Horizon — USA-Based Industrial Supplier & Global Sourcing Partner — is coordinating this Ansaldo AE94.3A4 opportunity with the seller side.
Qualified buyers can begin by sharing their company details, project destination, grid-frequency requirement and target implementation timeline. These details support initial qualification and help focus subsequent technical discussions on the project’s actual needs.
