Mitsubishi to build 1600MW combined cycle plant in Thailand

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will build a 1,600MW gas turbine combined-cycle power generation plant in Thailand.

A full-turnkey order has been placed by the Gulf JP NS Company.

The plant, to be operated by GNS in Nong Saeng district, Saraburi Province, will consist of two 800MW power generation plant trains.

The GTCC plant will primarily consist of four M701F gas turbines, two steam turbines and six generators.

The two units are scheduled to go online in June and December 2014, respectively.

GNS is building the Nong Saeng GTCC power plant based on the Thai government's electric power development plan.

Civil construction work and installation at the plant site will be handled by Sino-Thai

Engineering and Construction Public Company, a local construction firm.

GNS has already signed a long-term power purchase agreement with Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, under which the firm will supply electricity generated at the plant to EGAT for a 25 year period.

MHI will manufacture the gas turbines at its Takasago Machinery Works and the steam turbines at its Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works. The generators will be produced by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
