Japan’s Mitsubishi Power has received an order for two M701JAC gas turbines for a 1.5 GW combine cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant under construction in Sirdarya in Uzbekistan, the company said on April 14.  

The order follows the conclusion of an equipment supply agreement for the Sirdarya project between Saudi Arabia’s Acwa Power and China Gezhouba Group Co. as the appointed project EPC contractor. Acwa Power on April 1 announced the successful financial closure for the development, construction and operation of the project.

In addition to providing two gas turbines, Mitsubishi Power will also support construction and commissioning and a 25-year service agreement to support reliable operation, it said. 

Uzbekistan had broken ground on the power project in January this year. The central Asian nation is looking to expand its electricity generation to spur economic growth.
