Mitsubishi Power , a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , has completed construction of a 1.4 GW gas-fired CCGT power plant located about 100 km west of Bangkok, Thailand.

The Hin Kong power plant, which is a joint venture between the RATCH group and the Gulf Energy Development Public Company , features two M701JAC gas turbines. The first unit began commercial operation in March 2024, and the second 700 MW turbine has just begun commercial operation. Mitsubishi Power will provide long-term maintenance for the turbines under a 25-year Long-Term Service Agreement. The project will supply electricity to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) under a long-term PPA.

Takao Tsukui, Executive Vice President of Mitsubishi Power, said: “This project marks the commercial operation of our tenth M701JAC gas turbine in Thailand. We remain committed to providing continuous support through the 25-year LTSA, ensuring the stable operation of this power plant over the years to come.”
