Siemens Energy has won contracts to supply a total of 20 SGT-800 industrial gas turbines set to be used in various combined cycle cogeneration power plants in Thailand.

Under the contract, Siemens will supply ten turbines to Amata B.Grimm Power (ABP), six turbines to SSUT and PPTC and four turbines to IRPC Clean Power.

The contract, which was awarded under the third phase of the government's programme to support small power producers, is worth more than €300m including installation, and commissioning will see the supply of turbines of 50.5MW each that will have a combined capacity of more than 1,000MW.

In addition to this, Siemens will also supply five industrial SST-400 steam turbines for ABP, as well as provide chiller coils for some contracted gas turbines to enable around 10MWe greater power plant output. Siemens will manufacture the 20 turbines at its plant in Finspong, Sweden.

The end-users will install these gas turbines in ten different plants located in industrial parks, with most of them being built within an approximately 200km radius of Bangkok, the capital city.
