By GlobalDataMitsubishi Power will continue to support the facility with a 25-year long-term service agreement (LTSA), ensuring efficient and reliable electricity supply to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand under a long-term agreement signed in 2020.
Mitsubishi Power executive vice president Takao Tsukui said: “This project marks the commercial operation of our tenth M701JAC gas turbine in Thailand, a memorable milestone that we are proud to celebrate together with RATCH and GULF.
“Looking ahead, we remain committed to providing continuous support through the 25 years LTSA, ensuring the stable operation of this power plant over the years to come. Building on the success of the Hin Kong Power project, we are eager to further strengthen our partnership and embark on new challenges together.”
The project’s completion aligns with Mitsubishi Power’s recent achievement of the 5,300MW GTCC power plant project in Rayong and Chonburi provinces, which also utilised M701JAC gas turbines.
The combined operational track record of all ten M701JAC units from both projects has reached 120,000 hours, underscoring their reliability and performance.
To date, Mitsubishi Power has provided 22 gas turbines to RATCH and GULF projects, contributing more than 14,000MW to Thailand’s power generation capacity.
