California-based BrightSource – one of the world’s leading CSP companies – won the Ashalim concession alongside France’s Alstom in 2012.

Since GE’s recent acquisition of Alstom’s power and grids units, the US industrial giant has taken on EPC responsibilities for the project – including the supply of key equipment like the steam generator and turbine.

GE will also stay on to provide O&M services for 25 years, BrightSource says.
