This milestone signals completion of one of two 2650 MW M701JAC-based CCGTs power plants that Mitsubishi Power is supplying in Thailand, for which turnkey orders were secured in 2018. Construction of the second, to be operated by Gulf PD Co Ltd, is currently underway in Rayong Province.
In September 2022, the M701JAC gas turbine of the first Chonburi unit achieved 8000 actual operating hours (AOH), establishing what Mitsubishi describes as “an industry benchmark of reliability.”
