GIGATOP 4
Boosting power in China and France
In 2019, China’s largest nuclear power generator in service installed one of our GIGATOP 4-pole generators for their nuclear power plant—which boasts a rating of 1,660 MW and a load factor of 82.2%, helping supply 12 TWh of electricity to the Chinese grid.
That same year, another Gigatop 4-pole generator rated 1,495 MW produced 11.6 TWh of low-carbon electricity for the French grid, representing an 88.6% load factor. This equals the average yearly consumption of 2,500,000 households.
