The project required the repowering of 3 x 120 MW condensing steam turbines (25 years old) within the conventional oil-fired steam power plants into multiple shafts combined cycle power plants (CCPP) of 360 MW each in two phases.
An Alstom Power GT26B gas turbine was selected as the prime mover. Each block of CCPP has a configuration of 1GT+1HRSG+1ST. The gas turbines have dual-fuel (natural gas and diesel oil) capability, and were designed and optimized to fire natural gas from two sources.
