Mitsubishi Power, Jurong consortium bags contract for 670-MW combined gas turbine

The plant, expected to open in 2029, is set to be the largest battery energy storage in the city-state.

Mitsubishi Power and Jurong Engineering Limited (JEL) have been awarded an engineering and construction contract by PacificLight Power Pte. Ltd. (PLP) to develop the largest combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facility in Singapore.

Located on Jurong Island, Singapore, the 670-megawatt (MW) facility is set to be the first CCGT unit in Singapore integrated with a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) once it operates in 2029.

It will be capable of powering more than 965,000 four-room flats and can operate on 30% hydrogen. The unit is expected to run entirely on hydrogen in the future, Mitsubishi Power said.

The new CCGT power plant will use Mitsubishi Power’s M701JAC gas turbine with hydrogen co-firing potential.

The gas turbine boasts more than 64% combined cycle efficiency and proven reliability with three million operational hours.
