The facility will be built at the Navoi Thermal Power Plant of State Joint Stock Company Uzbekenergo (SJSC Uzbekenergo), the authority under which the power industry of Uzbekistan operates. This is said to be the first GTCC power generation system order placed with MHI by Uzbekistan. Delivery of the system is scheduled to begin in December 2010 and be completed in March 2011.
The natural gas-fired GTCC power plant will be built in Navoi City, the capital of Navoi Province, which is in southwestern Uzbekistan. When completed, the new power generation system will supply electricity and heat (hot water) to the Navoi Free Industrial Economic Zone.
The GTCC power generation plant consists primarily of one M701F gas turbine, one steam turbine, one heat recovery steam generator and two generators. MHI will provide the gas and steam turbines and Mitsubishi Electric will supply the generators.
INITEC Energia will be responsible for overall engineering of the facility and Calik Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret, a Turkish construction company, will perform civil engineering and installation work at the site. Mitsubishi will handle the trade particulars.
