Shanghai Electric secures 500 megawatt Malaysian gas turbine contract
Shanghai Electric won the contract to supply Unit 3 of the Sarawak Samalaju Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Project marking its first overseas heavy duty gas turbine order in Malaysia
In a major victory for Shanghai Electric, the company has been awarded the contract to provide the third unit of the Sarawak Samalaju Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Project in Malaysia. This achievement signifies Shanghai Electric's prowess in heavy-duty gas turbine technology and bolsters its standing in the global market.
The contract includes a full EPC turnkey solution for the power plant, along with a 25-year long-term service agreement (LTSA). This LTSA covers all major equipment, with Shanghai Electric manufacturing every core component in-house. These include gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, heat recovery steam generators, and air-cooled systems.
The company will also manage the long-term maintenance and service program for the entire life cycle of the unit. This comprehensive service model positions Shanghai Electric on par with established global leaders in the sector.
Currently, Shanghai Electric's heavy-duty gas turbines come in two models - one rated at 300 MW and the other at 78 MW. The company has delivered 103 units so far, with total installed capacity from commissioned projects surpassing 21,000 MW. These units have a combined operating time of more than 1.3 million hours under Shanghai Electric's long-term service and maintenance programs.
With substantial production capacity available for both turbine models, Shanghai Electric is set to supply new units for delivery as early as 2028. The contract has also garnered interest from project developers in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
