MHI receives order from Dongfang Turbine for 400MW gas turbine combined cycle
power generating facility components delivered to Belarus-Minsk-Power Plant 5
On November 18, MHI signed a contract with Dongfang Turbine for supply of major components for gas turbine combined cycle power generating facility.
MHI will supply some of the gas turbine high temperature parts, control modules, and steam turbine blades to Dongfang Turbine, and Dongfang will manufacture and assemble the gas turbine and steam turbine, and deliver them to Belarus-Minsk-Power Plant 5(the final customer).
This is a 400MW gas turbine combined cycle power plant with one gas turbine (701F type) and one steam turbine. Start of operations is planned for the end of October 2011, and is expected to contribute to stable power supply in the Minsk region.
This project is the first time that Dongfang Turbine has used MHI licensed equipment in another country, and is expected to deepen cooperative relations between the companies.
