Mitsubishi Power to develop hydrogen-ready power plant for Sembcorp Industries
In Singapore, a consortium comprising Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and Jurong Engineering Limited (JEL) has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to develop a new 600MW hydrogen-ready combined cycle power plant (CCPP) for Sembcorp Industries’ fully owned subsidiary Sembcorp Cogen. The plant is expected to be operational by 2026.
Located at Sembcorp’s upcoming multi-utilities center on Jurong Island, the new CCPP will contribute toward generating electricity for the grid and steam for industrial companies on Jurong Island. Under the contract, Mitsubishi Power will supply a M701JAC gas turbine, which is an air-cooled version of Mitsubishi Power’s leading J Series gas turbine, as well as the steam turbine and other main accessory equipment. A long-term service agreement (LTSA) for the maintenance of the plant’s major equipment was also awarded to Mitsubishi Power. JEL will provide the construction and BOP (Balance of Plant).
Koh Chiap Khiong, CEO for Singapore & Southeast Asia at Sembcorp Industries, said: “Sembcorp is committed to delivering stable and reliable power supply to our customers in Singapore. The development of the new power plant will improve the performance of our power generation assets on Jurong Island and pave the way for reduction of carbon emissions through hydrogen fuel blending.”
