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.[8] They announced that Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. will be the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.[9]

Kaohoon.com reported that construction started on December 3, 2018.[10]

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.[11]

The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand plans to commission two units in 2021 and the remaining two in 2022.[12]

Units 1 and 2 started commercial operations in 2021,[13][14] with units 3 and 4 then starting commercial operations in 2022.[5][6]

The total project cost for the four units is estimated to be US$1.55 billion.[8][15] In November 2018, 12 international financial institutions provided the project promoters with loans totalling US$1.15 billion, including a US$227 million loan facility from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation[15] and a US$228 million loan from the multilateral Asian Development Bank.[16] Gulf Energy and Mitsui together invested US$395 million as equity.[17]
