Mitsubishi Wins Gas Turbines Upgradation Contract from Tuas Power

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' (MHI) power solutions arm Mitsubishi Power has secured a contract from Singapore-based power major Tuas Power Generation Pte. Ltd for the upgradation of two M701F gas turbines (CCP3 and CCP4) with latest technologies in its gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power generation facility, that would help in enhancing plant’s output and generating efficiency.
 
Under the contract, the company will upgrade two 360 MW GTCC power plants, that will reduce CO2 emissions by 16.9 kilo-tonnes annually.
 
Further, the project is expected to be completed in 2023.
 
The move came as Tuas Power aimed to achieve energy efficiency and fulfil decarbonization measures in its operations in accordance with the Singapore government’s energy policies.
 
Since 2001, Mitsubishi Power supplied four gas turbines to Tuas Power, each with a rated output of 360 MW.

Commenting on the securing the contract, Cheng Tin Swan, Vice President (Generation)/Plant Manager) of Tuas Power, said “As one of Singapore’s leading power generation companies, we are dedicated to the country’s decarbonization efforts, and this gas turbine upgrade marks another step in our journey of innovation and sustainability. This upgrade will enable us to generate power while reducing emissions, yet without compromising the energy supply at our power plant. Tuas Power is happy to have a company like Mitsubishi Power that has superior technical expertise to help us achieve high levels of energy efficiency improvements.”

“Mitsubishi Power has not only supplied Tuas Power with power generation equipment, but also provides support under a long-term service agreement (LTSA) to ensure a high operating rate of its facilities, for stable and efficient power generation. We have developed a long-standing relationship with Tuas Power, and it is an honor to receive this contract, which plays an important role in Singapore’s clean power generation while enhancing the asset value of Tuas Power’s facilities,” said Osamu Ono, MD and CEO of Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific.
