New Gas Turbines For Japan Power Station

GE Vernova Inc. has received an order for three GE Vernova 7HA.03 gas turbines to be installed at The Kansai Electric Power Company Inc.’s (Kansai Electric) Nanko power station in Osaka, Japan. GE Vernova’s 7HA.03 power generation equipment will replace the existing aging conventional liquefied natural gas (LNG) power generation assets consisting of three boilers and three steam turbines.

“The plant is expected to deliver up to 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of electricity to the grid in total and to be the among the most efficient in the country,” said Ramesh Singaram, president and CEO, Asia, of GE Vernova’s Gas Power. “In addition, 7HA.03 gas turbine technology currently has the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas, with a technology pathway to 100% over the next decade. We look forward to bringing this advanced technology to Kansai Electric, with whom we have a longstanding relationship built on years of mutual respect and trust, to help revitalize the Japanese power industry with more efficient and more sustainable technology, in alignment with the country’s energy goals.”
