Order for two 145 MW CCGTs in South Korea

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has received an order from POSCO Power for two sets of gas turbine combined-cycle (CCGT) power generation plant equipment to fire by-product gases at POSCO's Pohang Works. Each power plant has a capacity to generate 145 MW, making for a collective capacity of 290 MW. The equipment will be delivered between 2012 and 2013. The order represents the third from POSCO for CCGT power plants firing by-product gases from iron-making furnaces; it brings the cumulative number of CCGT plants ordered to MHI to five units, with collective power generation capacity of 720 MW. The power plants will be operated by POSCO Power. MHI will be responsible for the design and manufacture of the gas turbines, steam turbines, gas compressors and electrostatic precipitators (dust collectors) - the core equipment of the power generation facility - as well as peripheral equipment.
