MHI receives a full-turnkey coal-fired power plant order from Chile

MHI has received a full-turnkey order from Empresa Electrica Guacolda S.A., an electricity provider in Chile, for a 152 MW coal-fired power generation plant to be built at the Guacolda Power Station in Huasco. Previously, MHI received orders for the No.1 and 2 units, 150 MW each, and 152 MW No. 3 unit. The latest order marks the fourth unit ordered by the company. The No. 4 unit is scheduled to go on-stream in June 2010.

The power plant on order to be built in Huasco, approximately 700 kilometers north of Santiago, Chile's capital, will consist of a boiler, steam turbine, generator and steam condenser. MHI will manufacture the boiler at its Yokohama Dockyard and Machinery Works, which is also responsible for the plant construction work, and the steam turbine and steam condenser at its Nagasaki Shipyard and Machinery Works.
