Expanding its role as a leading energy technology supplier for Brazil’s offshore oil and gas sector, GE’s Distributed Power business today announced it will supply four additional LM2500+G4 aeroderivative gas turbine generators to supply 85 megawatts (MW) of reliable on-site electricity for a new floating oil and gas production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel—the Cidade de Caraguatatuba MV-27.

GE will supply the four units to MODEC, a general contractor specializing in the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of floating production systems. The new FPSO, owned and operated by MODEC, will be installed and operated on charter in 2,240 meters of water in the pre-salt fields off the coast of Brazil.
