In 2016, GE and French partner EDF unveiled the world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant, powered by GE’s 9HA.01 gas turbine. With the ability to produce more than 600 MW of electricity with a 62.22% efficiency rating, this new gas turbine set a world record for efficiency and set the stage for the newest 9HA gas turbine model—the 9HA.02.

Marking the 100^th order for GE’s HA gas turbines, our 9HA.02 gas turbine will soon be powering Agios Nikolaos, one of the largest natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plants in Europe. Expected to begin operations toward the end of 2021, the Agios Nikolaos power plant will produce 826 MW of power and a thermal efficiency of more than 63%, making it one of Europe’s most efficient power plants as well.

PGE has ordered two of GE’s high-efficiency, lower emission 9HA.01 gas turbines to power its Dolna Odra power plant in Poland. When operational in 2023, the two turbines, as well as two steam turbines and HRSGs, will generate up to 1.4 GW of power—enough electricity to power the equivalent of 1 million Polish households. They will also help stabilize the regional grid, which relies on offshore and onshore wind farms, and is expected to reduce C)2 emissions by about 2-3 million tons per year.

Israel Electric Corporation has ordered a second GE 9HA.01 gas turbine for its Orot Rabin combined-cycle power plant as part of the country’s strategy of converting the existing plant from coal to high-efficiency gas-fired generation. GE will also supply a steam turbine generator, heat recovery steam generator and balance of plant equipment, in addition to a 15-year service agreement. The new gas turbine is expected be in operation in 2023.

Owned by Southern Power Generation Sdn Bhd., this 1440 MW combined-cycle power plant is due to begin operations mid-2020 and will become home to Malaysia’s first GE 9HA.02 gas turbines. The heart of the plant will be two generating blocks, each equipped with a 9HA.02 gas turbine, generator and heat recovery steam generator. Overall plant performance will be monitored and enhanced with GE’s Predix* asset performance management (APM) software and Fleet360* platform of gas plant solutions.

Owned by Edra Power, this 2,242 MW combined-cycle power plant is due to begin operations in 2021 and will be the country’s largest combined-cycle gas turbine power plant. Powered by 3 of GE’s 9HA.02 gas turbines, it is capable of providing up to 10% of Malaysia’s electricity needs.

An initiative under the government’s plans of achieving 35,000 MW capacity, the 780 MW combined-cycle Tambak Lorok power plant will house Indonesia’s first 9HA gas turbine—as well as a GE generator, D650 steam turbine, heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and balance of plant equipment. Expected to begin operations in 2021, the plant will provide enough power to supply the equivalent of up to 5 million homes and help ensure more reliable and affordable electricity for the Java-Bali grid.

Part of the Indonesian government’s 35 GW electrification initiative to power close to 11 million homes throughout the country, the 1750 MW Jawa One combined-cycle power plant is due to begin operations in 2021 and will be powered by two units of GE’s 571 MW 9HA.02 gas turbines and two units of the 309 MW D652 steam turbine. The plant will also be serviced by GE as part of a 25+ multi-year agreement that includes APM digital solutions, commissioning and installation, parts, field and repair services.

Thailand's largest gas-fired power plant, this 1,400 MW combined-cycle facility is owned and operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and will be equipped with 2 of GE's 9HA gas turbine. Currently planned for completion in 2020, the plant is expected to deliver more than 1,400 MW to the national grid – enough electricity to supply the equivalent of up to 2 million average Thai homes and will help Thailand achieve its goal of securing 57,460 MW of power generation capacity by 2036.
