MHI receives a full-turnkey order for 3 natural gas-fired GTCC power generation systems
from Nuon of the Netherlands.

MHI has received a full-turnkey order from Nuon N.V. - a major Dutch energy company for three trains of natural gas-fired gas turbine combined-cycle systems (GTCC), over 430 MW each, for the approximately 1,300 MW Nuon Magnum Plant. The order marks Nuon's second GTCC plant to MHI following the IJmond blast furnace gas-fired combined cycle system delivered in 1997. The plant will go on-stream in 2011.

Nuon Magnum will be built in Eemshaven in the province of Groningen, at the northern part of Netherlands. Nuon plans future conversion of the plant to an integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power plant, adopting gasification technology of coal and biomass.
Each train will consist of a state-of-the-art M701F4 gas turbine, steam turbine, generator, heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and other components (balance of plant: BOP). MHI will manufacture the gas and steam turbines, as well as procuring HRSG and BOP, and undertaking civil work, installation and commissioning.
