Mitsubishi Power will also provide auxiliary equipment and dispatch technical advisors to support the installation and commissioning process.

The gas turbine is designed to co-fire fuel with up to 30% hydrogen, positioning it as the most advanced power generation facility in Sarawak.

The GTCC plant, owned and operated by PETROS Power, a subsidiary of the state-owned Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (PETROS), will be located in the city of Miri, a strategic gas hub.

Mitsubishi Power has also established a long-term service agreement with Petros to ensure the power plant’s stable performance once it begins commercial operation.

The generators for the plant will be produced by Mitsubishi Generator, a company established through the merger of MHI and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation’s power-generator systems businesses.

The Miri GTCC power plant is a pivotal project under the Sarawak Gas Roadmap, aimed at transforming Sarawak into a high-income state by 2030.

The plant will bolster energy security for Northern Sarawak and support the region’s growing power demands.

These technologies are integral to global decarbonisation efforts and a stable electricity supply – crucial for economic development.

Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific managing director and CEO Akihiro Ondo said: “Since the 1960s, we have established ourselves as a key provider of power generation equipment and services in Malaysia.

“This project, equipped with our hydrogen-ready M701F gas turbine, reaffirms our commitment to supporting Malaysia’s journey towards net zero by 2050. We are grateful for the trust of Petros, and the opportunity to realise Sarawak’s hydrogen potential to drive the energy transition alongside our local industry partners.”

In February 2024, Mitsubishi Power received an order from JSC Thermal Power Plants to provide a GTCC system for the Navoi 3 project in Uzbekistan.
