GE Hungary signed the contract with ASE, a unit of Rosatom, the general contractor for the project.

A consortium led by the local unit of General Electric was reported to have won the tender to supply the turbines a week earlier.

GE Hungary, partnering with GE unit Alstom Power Systems, beat Russia’s Silovye Mashiny in the tender. Hungary is upgrading its sole nuclear power plant with credit from Russia.
