Toshiba will serve as EPC contractor for two of the three generators (Units 1 & 2), and as such will be responsible for plant’s design and engineering; the procurement and installation of major equipment, including boilers, steam turbines, and generators; and the balance of plant equipment, covering ancillary facilities such as coal conveying equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment and instrumentation; testing, trial operation and commissioning. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2014 and Unit 1 and Unit 2 are expected to be completed by the end of January 2017 and March 2017, respectively.
