| Turbine technology HL gas turbines for Taiwan


Siemens Energy is supplying two HL gas turbines and related components for the Kuo Kuang 2 power plant in Taiwan.


With a planned electrical capacity of 1200 MW, the plant will play a key role in meeting the growing energy needs of Taiwan’s booming industrial and technology sector. The plant will also support Taiwan’s energy transition strategy, which includes


Siemens Energy partners with Rolls- Royce on SMR steam turbines


Siemens Energy and Rolls-Royce SMR have entered into a partnership agreement that is expected to lead to the exclusive supply of conventional technology for future small modular reactors (SMRs). Under the agreement, Siemens Energy is to be the sole supplier of steam turbines, generators, and other auxiliary systems for the UK manufacturer’s planned Generation 3+ modular nuclear power plants. The final contract, “detailing all specifics”, is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. The Rolls-Royce SMR is a pressurised water reactor designed to achieve an electrical output of up to 470 MW.


phasing out coal and nuclear, while massively expanding renewable and low-carbon energy sources.


Taiwan boasts a robust industrial base in electronics, engineering, and particularly semiconductors.


About 60% of all microchips are produced in Taiwan, making a stable power supply essential, says Siemens Energy.


The Kuo Kuang 2 project follows on from the recent successful completion by Siemens Energy of the 1100 MW Sun Ba 2 project in Taiwan. Kuo Kuang 2 is being built in consortium with local EPC contractor CTCI Corp. Siemens Energy’s scope is the complete power island including the two SGT6-9000HL gas turbines, one SST6-5000 steam turbine, three SGEN6-2000P generators and the Omnivise T3000 control system.


Toshiba steam turbine for Patuha 2 geothermal plant


Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation has received an order from PT Inti Karya Persada Tehnik (IKPT) to supply a steam turbine generator for the Patuha geothermal project in Indonesia. IKPT, a subsidiary of Toyo Engineering Corporation, is the EPC contractor for the Patuha geothermal power plant unit 2 in West Java, Indonesia, operated by PT. Geo Dipa Energi (Persero), an Indonesian state-owned company. Patuha unit 2, with an installed capacity of 60.3 MW, is scheduled to go online in 2027, doubling the capacity of the Patuha facility. It is Toshiba’s second recent order for a power generation system for a geothermal power plant in Indonesia, following that for the Wayang Windu

geothermal power plant unit 3, announced in October 2024.


Indonesia, the world’s second largest producer of geothermal power, after the USA, has an estimated potential geothermal generating capacity of approximately 30 GW. Under its latest Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL 2021-2030) the Indonesian government aims to increase generating capacity in the country by about 40.6 GW by 2030, with geothermal power contributing 3.35 GW.


Toshiba has previously delivered six steam turbine generators, totalling 311 MW, to Indonesian geothermal plants, including Sarulla, Patuha unit 1, and Lumut Balai.


Doosan Škoda Power supplies steam turbine to Rayong CCGT project


Doosan Škoda Power has reported successful completion of its Rayong project in Thailand. The company delivered a 20 MW steam


turbine, including a generator, condenser, and other accessories, to a newly built combined cycle power plant in Rayong Province, near


Pattaya. The project, which was implemented in collaboration with Thai company TTCL, EPC contractor for the project, is seen as a significant milestone for Doosan Škoda Power as it was its first delivery of a steam turbine to the Thai market.


The new combined cycle power plant, with an installed capacity of 74 MW, replaces an existing, much less efficient, facility. As well as generating electricity, the combined cycle plant supplies steam to the surrounding industrial area.
