TEC Project Services Corporation (TPS), a subsidiary of the Japanese Toyo Engineering Corporation (TEC), that is constructing industrial power plants for the Thai company Gulf MP has awarded Siemens a contract to provide 18 model SGT-800 industrial gas turbines to Thailand totalling 1,100 MW of generation capacity. Gulf MP is a joint venture of the Thai Gulf Energy Development Co., Ltd. and the Japanese Mitsui & Co. Six of the turbines have a capacity of 53 MW each and the remaining twelve units are rated 50.5 MW each. The units are to be installed in nine CCGT power plants that are planned to enter into operation between May 2017 and July 2019.
Thailand is with the Small Power Producer (SPP) program promoting distributed power production facilities to ensure reliable power generation for industrial parks and to also make Thailand more attractive to foreign investors. The nine industrial power plants, each equipped with two SGT-800 gas turbines, are to be erected in five new industrial parks: Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate, Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard, Hi-Tech Industrial Estate, Hemaraj Rayong Industrial Land and Hemaraj Saraburi Industrial Land.
