MAN Diesel wins Alice power station contract

A Sydney-based company has been awarded a $60 million contract to design and build a new power station south of Alice Springs.

The Power and Water Corporation says MAN Diesel Australia will begin work on the Owen Springs Power Station in the next few weeks.

Stage one is expected to be completed by April next year.

The Corporation's John Linton says separate tender submissions to relocate the two noisy turbine generators from the Sadadeen complex to Owen Springs are now being assessed.

He says the Taurus generator is expected to be moved later this year and the Titan in 2009.
