Mitsubishi Power, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has achieved a significant milestone. They successfully completed the EPC of the Hin Kong gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant. This 1.4GW facility is located in Thailand. The plant is now operational. It will supply reliable electricity to the region.

The Hin Kong plant addresses Thailand’s increasing energy demands. Mitsubishi Power handled the engineering, procurement, and construction. This ensures the plant meets high standards. SuperMetalPrice reports that this plant uses advanced GTCC technology. Consequently, it achieves high efficiency. Therefore, it reduces emissions.

The operational Hin Kong plant strengthens Thailand’s power infrastructure. It provides a stable energy source. This supports the country’s economic growth. Furthermore, it enhances energy security. The plant’s capacity ensures it can meet peak demand.

Mitsubishi Power’s completion of this project highlights its expertise in power generation. Moreover, it demonstrates its commitment to delivering reliable energy solutions. Consequently, Thailand benefits from a modern and efficient power plant.

Project Details and Strategic Importance for Thailand

The Hin Kong GTCC power plant, located about 100 km west of Bangkok, features two advanced M701JAC gas turbines. The first turbine began commercial operation in March 2024, with the second unit following shortly after. This plant is owned by a joint venture between RATCH Group Public (51%) and Gulf Energy Development Public (49%).

This new facility plays a critical role in addressing Thailand’s increasing energy needs while providing sustainable, high-efficiency energy solutions. The power plant is part of the country’s efforts to ensure energy security and readiness for future energy demands.

A Long-Term Commitment to Reliable Energy

Under a 25-year long-term service agreement (LTSA), Mitsubishi Power will provide ongoing maintenance services for the turbines. The power generated by the plant will be supplied to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) under a long-term power purchase agreement. This will ensure the country has a stable and efficient energy supply to meet its future needs.

This project is part of Mitsubishi Power’s larger efforts in Thailand, including the successful completion of a 5.3GW GTCC power plant in the Rayong and Chonburi provinces. With a total of 22 M701JAC turbines deployed across various projects, Mitsubishi Power has contributed more than 14GW of power generation capacity to the country.
