Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) has announced that it has won an order to construct a 1026.3 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant for the Emirate of Sharjah in the UAE. The plant will feature two M701F gas turbines. The contract is for the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), and will be built in the city of Layyah. The plant is scheduled for completion by mid-2021.

The project will be the first in Sharjah to be financed as export loan from Japan’s Export Credit Agency (ECA).

MHPS received the order for the plant on a full turnkey basis in a consortium with Elsewedy Electric. MHPS will provide the core equipment, including two gas turbines, one steam turbine, three generators, and two HRSG. Elsewedy Electric will provide engineering, procure balance of plant and other equipment, and undertake construction at the site.
