TT Utility Company Limited, which generates electrical power and steam for Tailand’s industrial sector, has signed a long-term service agreement with GE valued at more
than US$40m (€30m). Te 13-year contractual service agreement (CSA) includes power output efficiency, reliability and performance guarantees for eight GE Frame 6B gas turbines at PTT Utility’s power generation plants at Map Ta Phut industrial estate in Rayong, Tailand.
Reliability and performance Te gas turbines are generating more than 300MW of power and 1200t/h of steam for the petrochemical industry in Tailand, which is enough electricity for more than 15 petrochemical plants with high efficiency, reliability and performance of supply. PTT Utility is a subsidiary of PTT Plc, the national oil and gas company of Tailand. “GE will help PTT Utility effectively manage
its gas turbine services budget while maintaining the plant’s high reliability and performance,” said Kovit Kantapasara, country executive, GE Energy, Tailand and Indochina. “Our service agreement includes reliability and output/heat rate degradation guarantees, to ensure that the plant continues to meet its production targets.” Te CSA with PTT Utility follows a 13-year
service agreement GE signed last year with PTT Chemical, to ensure the long-term reliability of nine GE gas turbines at PTT Chemical’s site, also located in Map Ta Phut industrial estate. In a second new contract, GE is providing engineering, equipment, spare parts and services for a gas turbine upgrade project that will significantly increase the efficiency, output and revenue of the Kot Addu Power Company Limited (KAPCO) power plant in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Te project supports the Pakistani government’s push for reduced fuel costs and improved efficiency for power plants across the country.
