Valued at around €200m, the new deal will see Siemens provide two SGT5-8000H gas turbines, one SST-5000 steam turbine, two heat recovery steam generators, and control and auxiliary systems for the project.
The firm will also offer engineering and project management, as well as associated on-site services.
To be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), the new Jhang plant is expected to begin feeding electricity in simple-cycle operation by December next year.
After completing the initial operation, the plant is scheduled to begin combined-cycle operation by November 2019.
