Thailand's Bang Bo gas-fired power plant to get upgrade

Bang Bo power plant's GT26 gas turbine will be upgraded to MXL2 turbine blade and components.

The 350 MW combined cycle power plant located at Khlong Daan, Bang Bo Samut Prakan Province will be the first GT26 power plant in Thailand to receive this upgrade. It is due to be installed in 2014.

Eastern Power and Electric Co. Ltd has signed a 10-year operations and maintenance contract1 with Alstom for the Bang Bo power plant.

This contract is an extension to the existing O&M contract which expires at the end of March 2013. As part of this contract, Alstom will station permanent employees on site to operate the power plant and carry out all planned and unplanned maintenance at the site. The contract, to be booked in Q4 of fiscal year 2012-2013, is worth approximately €90 million.

Hans-Peter Meer, Senior Vice President, Alstom Thermal Services said, "This upgrade will not only increase the capacity, efficiency and operational flexibility of the power plant but will also extend intervals between major inspections."

Thailand boasts of East Asia's largest fleet of Alstom GT26 power plants with seven commercially operational units. Alstom has been present in Thailand for over 40 years and has supplied over 7,000 MW power through its technology.
