Toshiba Corporation (Tokyo: 6502) today announced to have received an order to supply 688MW super-critical steam turbine and generator (STG) for the Duyen Hai 3 extension coal-fired power plant in the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh.
The contract was awarded by Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation, the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the project. Toshiba will make delivery in 2016 and the plant will start operation in 2018.
The Duyen Hai 3 extension coal-fired power plant invested in by the state-run Electricity of Vietnam with the total investment capital VND22.7 trillion (more than $1 billion), start construction in December last year. The new power plant, a part of the 4,348 megawatt Duyen Hai power centre, will be able to produce 3.9 billion kWh of electricity every year.

In the last six years, the company has been awarded orders for the Vung Ang 1 thermal power plant, the Thai Binh 2 thermal plant and the Vinh Tan 4 Thermal Plant. This experience, and the performance and reliability of Toshiba’s STGs, won a positive evaluation from Sumitomo Corporation.
