ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT 60 GAS TURBINE WINS FIRST ORDERS IN THE USA AND BELGIUM FROM 
                              ELECTRIC UTILITIES                               

Rolls-Royce plc, a world leading provider of power systems and services for use
on land, at sea and in the air, has announced its first orders from electric
utilities in the United States and Belgium for its Trent 60 gas turbine.

Braintree Electric Light Department in Massachusetts has signed a contract for
two Rolls-Royce Trent 60 power generation packages. These will be Wet Low
Emissions (WLE) units, capable of providing up to 116MW of electrical power at
the Thomas A. Watson generating station, a new power plant to be constructed on
the site of the retired Potter 1 station, located south of Boston.

They will provide cost-effective, environmentally-friendly, efficient power to
meet the growing energy needs of Braintree Electric customers and others on the
ISO-New England grid for years to come.

The Belgian electricity utility, SPE, has selected two Trent 60 units to power
generating packages to be constructed by the Swiss power systems packager,
Turbomach, S.A.

SPE will use its Trent 60 Dry Low Emissions (DLE) engines at its Ham power
station, near Gent, to provide electrical power to the national grid at times
of peak demand.

At site conditions each gas turbine has a power rating of 51MW but this will
increase by over 11 per cent when both engines are upgraded at a later date
with a new Rolls-Royce engineering development, Inlet Spray Intercooling (ISI).

The boost in performance will benefit SPE by allowing it to increase the power
produced from the units in hot weather with a nominal increase in first cost.

Trent power generation packages have already been ordered by customers in
Canada, Denmark, the UK, China and the Middle East.
