Mitsubishi Power Begins Commercial Operation Of Fifth Gas Turbine In Thailand Project

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd's MHVYF Mitsubishi Power unit has started operating a natural gas turbine at a gas-fired power plant project in Thailand's Rayong province on March 31. The natural gas turbine unit is called M701JAC.
The gas turbine is the fifth of eight M701JAC gas turbines to be delivered as part of a full turnkey 5,300MW contract secured by Mitsubishi Power in 2018.
Located approximately 130 km southeast of the capital city of Bangkok, the Rayong plant is owned and operated by Gulf PD Company Limited (Note), a joint venture project by Gulf Energy Development PCL, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. MITSF.
The power generated at these plants will be sold to Thailand's state-owned Electricity Generating Authority Of Thailand, or EGAT.
Moving forward, Mitsubishi Power will continue its full-fledged effort to complete the Rayong power plant, while also focusing on further promoting the widespread adoption of JAC Series gas turbines.
