HK Electric gets new gas turbine for Lamma Power Station's Unit 11

Operation is slated for January 2022.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has received an order for natural-gas-fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power generation system equipment for Lamma Power Station Extension - Unit 11 to be built in Hong Kong by HK Electric. Mitsubishi Corporation is prime contractor on the project. MHPS will supply the main components of the power plant through MC, with operations scheduled to begin in January 2022. The GTCC power generation equipment delivered to the Lamma power station will be a consecutive order following Unit 10 should be end of 2015.

The newly ordered GTCC power generation facilities will be constructed on Lamma Island, which is situated to the southwest of Hong Kong Island, adjacent to existing Unit 9 and Unit 10 which is now under construction. The work is part of a large-scale project under way in line with the government authority's policy targeting expansion of Hong Kong's ratio of gas-fired power generation as a way of reducing environmental impact. Once in operation, the new facility will respond to Hong Kong Island's robust power demand.

Among the main equipment making up the GTCC power generation facility, MHPS will manufacture and supply its M701F gas turbine, a steam turbine, heat recovery steam generator and air quality control system. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will supply generator.

HK Electric is a power provider in Hong Kong and is the sole electricity provider to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island.
