General Electric Company’s GE unit GE Power recently clinched an order for its state-of-the-art HA — one of the most efficient fleet of gas turbines in the world. Notably, the company entered into a deal with engineering, procurement, and construction consortium of Posco Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. to deliver power generation equipment at Pulau Indah power plant, located in Selangor, Malaysia.

For the 1,200 MW power plant, General Electric will be responsible for offering two blocks of 600 megawatts, each blocks consisting of an advanced 9HA.01 gas turbine, a W88 generator, an STF-D650 steam turbine and a Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator. In addition to the power generation equipment, the deal involves a 21-year services agreement.

General Electric’s advanced HA gas turbine technology will bring greater flexibility and efficiency to the plant’s operations for producing efficient and low-cost energy in Selangor. Apart from helping the power plant in catering to the growing requirements of reliable electricity, the HA technology will help it in lowering the consumption of natural gas and emissions. Notably, the plant’s commercial operations are expected to commence in 2024.

Separately, General Electric’s Healthcare unit introduced StarGuide, an advanced SPECT/CT system. The system is developed to facilitate clinicians to improve patient outcomes in several medical specialties, including bone procedures and others.
