JURONG ISLAND, Singapore -- Continuing to keep its gas turbine fleet competitive in Singapore’s energy marketplace, Keppel Infrastructure announced the award of an upgrade contract to GE’s Gas Power business to modernize KMC’s existing GT26 unit at the combined cycle power plant in Jurong Island, Singapore.
With GE’s technology breakthroughs across every major component of this frame - turbine, compressor and combustor - the GT26 HE upgrade, the most advanced upgrade available for the GT26, can provide significant improvements for an F-class combined cycle gas turbine. The upgrade will increase the unit’s efficiency, extend maintenance intervals, and abate up to approximately 50,000,000 kilowatt-hour equivalent of carbon emissions each year in line with the government’s goals to lower Singapore’s carbon footprint.
