Background
Mitsui & Co., Ltd. entered into a project finance agreement with Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited for a gas-fired thermal power generation project in November 2018.[7] They announced that Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. will be the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.[8]
Kaohoon.com reported that construction started on December 3, 2018.[9]
In December 2019, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems shipped the first eight turbines to Bangkok, four for this plant and four for the Rayong Gulf PD power station.[10]
The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand plans to commission two units in 2021 and the remaining two in 2022.[11]
Unit 1 and 2 started commercial operations in 2021.[12][13]
