Mitsubishi Power completes GTCC power station at Alba plant
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Japanese group Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), today (February 19) announced the successful completion of the Power Station 5 Block 4 gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant at Aluminium Bahrain (Alba). This plant is powered by Mitsubishi Power's state-of-the-art, hydrogen-ready M701JAC gas turbine and steam turbine. The high-efficiency power plant was developed by a Mitsubishi Power consortium with SepcoIII to expand Alba's captive power generation capacity in line with its growth and sustainability objectives, and to help accelerate the sustainable economic development of Bahrain, said the Japanese group in a statement. With a combined cycle output of 680.9 MW, the Mitsubishi Power M701JAC gas turbine represents the first deployment of this advanced JAC technology in a Middle Eastern aluminium smelter, contributing to Alba's decarbonization goals while ensuring energy security for its operations. The announcement was made during a ceremony held at Alba's Power Station 5 site attended by high-level officials from Alba including the Chairman of the Board Khalid Al Rumaihi, Chief Executive Officer Ali Al Baqali, Chief Power Officer Amin Sultan, and Alba's Executive Management Team and a senior delegation from Mitsubishi Power led by Takashi Tozawa, Vice President, Energy Systems at MHI and Khalid Salem, President, Middle East and North Africa, Mitsubishi Power. Senior officials from SepcoIII were also present including its Vice President, Kong Lingfen. Mitsubishi Power was able to complete the contract a month ahead of schedule and this new milestone marks the successful execution of the project, reinforcing its track record in the delivery of high-efficiency and reliable power solutions for energy-intensive industries. On the project completion, Tozawa said: "We are honored to celebrate this landmark project which introduced Mitsubishi Power's state-of-the-art power generation technology to the Mena region and we are proud to mark the completion of this significant milestone for our partner Alba." "The successful start of commercial operation at the Power Station 5 Block 4 project with our world-leading, hydrogen-ready M701JAC Gas Turbine is a testament to our dedication to support our customers meet their energy goals as well as to decarbonizing heavy industry," he stated. "This milestone not only underscores our strong collaboration but also plays a pivotal role in advancing Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030 and building a sustainable energy future for the Kingdom," he added. Al Rumaihi said: "Power Station 5 Block 4 isn't just an expansion of our power capacity, it's a testament for Alba's vision for a sustainable future, and a powerful symbol of what is possible when innovation and partnership converge." "This Project, delivered ahead of schedule thanks to the dedication of our teams and partners like Mitsubishi Power and SepcoIII, propels us forward on our journey to a greener Bahrain, demonstrating that industrial growth and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand," he added. As part of the agreement, Mitsubishi Power will continue supporting Alba through a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA), ensuring high availability, reliability, and performance of the gas turbine.

Mitsubishi Power inks gas turbine supply deal for Al Wahda power plant in Morocco
Mitsubishi Power has bagged an order from Morocco's National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) to supply two M701JAC gas turbines and auxiliary equipment for the Al Wahda Open Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant. The peaker power plant is located near Al Wahda Dam in the Province of Ouazzane in the north of Morocco. Mitsubishi Power said in a statement that the plant's two gas turbines will generate a combined 990 megawatts (MW), representing nearly 7 percent of Morocco's national grid capacity. The plant is expected to begin operation in 2027, the statement said without disclosing the contract value. In October 2024, Zawya Projects had reported that a consortium of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) and Mitsubishi Power have been awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract worth $595 million for the Al Wahda power project.
