Mitsubishi Power will provide six hydrogen-ready gas turbines to Saudi Arabia, where they are expected to run on natural gas.
The Japanese engineering firm will provide six M501JAC gas turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment for the Rumah-1 and Al-Nairyah-1 independent power plant (IPP) projects in Saudi Arabia.
Mitsubishi’s turbine products will reportedly deliver a combined 3.6GW, which accounts for nearly 2.5% of the national grid’s capacity.
In an email sent to H2 View, a Mitsubishi representative confirmed, “The potential of J-Class gas turbines to co-fire hydrogen will help Saudi Arabia move closer to adding 20GW of renewable power capacity annually, targeting a total of 130GW by 2030, according to Global Data.”
