Combined-cycle power plants
GE Power has been contracted by Pakistan’s government to build a 1.2 GW power plant at Balloki, a move designed at addressing the country’s significant electricity shortfall.The Balloki combined-cycle gas-fired power plant will go some way towards bridging a 5 GW energy shortfall, with GE providing two high-efficiency 9HA gas turbines, one steam turbine and associated equipment to Harbin Electric International Company Limited for the plant. This move follows the October announcement of the new 1.1 GW Bhikki combined-cycle power plant, which will also include two 9HA gas turbines and one steam turbine (engineered by Alstom); both the Bhikki and Balloki plants are expected to enter commercial operation in 2017. The Balloki plant marks the 24th and 25th worldwide orders for GE’s HA, the world’s largest, most efficient gas turbine. Together, Bhikki and Balloki will be able to provide the equivalent power needed to supply more than 12 million Pakistani homes..
