Sembcorp’s Sakra power plant is a cogeneration plant in Pulau Sakra on Jurong Island that opened in November 2001. The plant’s two GE 9F gas turbines produce power for the grid and process steam for chemical and petrochemical facilities nearby. Sembcorp in 2014 opened a second cogeneration facility on Jurong Island, the 400-MW Banyan plant, which features a single GT26 gas turbine unit. Courtesy: Sembcorp

Singapore-based Sembcorp Industries, GE Vernova, and Japanese heavy industry firm IHI Corp. will jointly examine potentially retrofitting two GE 9F gas turbines at an 815-MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant […]
