The 6 X 175-MW conventional steam sets shown in the photo have been demolished to make room for the second phase development of three more CCGT blocks. Thermal efficiency is 59.1% LHV. Vertical HRSGs were used to minimize plant footprint and the modular 3,800t installations were shipped by barge from the MHI works in Nagasaki. Construction on the heavily urbanized site was challenging. Among other things 65ft deep tunnels were built under the existing plant for interconnection with the existing substation. The CCGT plant also can supply steam to ten neighboring industries.
