GE Vernova will lead an international consortium implementing the projects, including EPC contractors Bonatti and SENER. The new plants will replace existing coal-fired plants. They will operate initially on natural gas but conversion to 100% hydrogen in the 2030s is envisaged.
The new 680 MW power plants are targeted to begin operation by the end of 2026.
Each plant will be equipped with a GE 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, a triple pressure with reheat heat recovery steam generator and a Mark VIe distributed control system.
