Siemens and Marubeni hand over Wang Noi 4
Power Plant to the Electricity Generating
Authority of Thailand (EGAT)
A consortium comprising of Siemens AG, Siemens Ltd. Thailand and the Japanese
partner Marubeni has completed the Wang Noi 4 combined cycle power plant in
Thailand on schedule. The Owner, the state-owned utility Electricity Generating
Authority of Thailand (EGAT), took the power plant into commercial operation on
April 7, 2014. The natural gas fired power plant features an efficiency of over 57.3 %
with an electrical capacity of 770 megawatts (MW). This makes Wang Noi 4 one of
the most modern power plants in Thailand and currently in all of South East Asia in
terms of environmental compatibility and efficiency.
The multi-shaft unit Wang Noi 4 is located in the vicinity of the Thai capital Bangkok,
and is an extension of a power plant complex that is already home to three units.
For unit 4, Siemens supplied the main components, comprising two model SGT54000F gas turbines, an SST5-5000 steam turbine, three SGen-1000A generators,
and the SPPA-T3000 instrumentation and control system. Siemens was also in
charge of commissioning of Unit 4. Marubeni supplied the heat recovery steam
generators, the main transformers and the cooling tower. Siemens' partner in the
consortium was also responsible for the civil works and erection of the plant.
"We are glad that, thanks to the experience of Siemens and Marubeni in the
construction of EPC power plants, we were able to take over the power plant on
original schedule, despite complications due to the flooding disaster in October /
November 2011. This new plant will help us to ensure a reliable power supply for the
Bangkok metropolitan region,” said EGAT’s Khun Ratanachai Namwong, Deputy
Governor, Power Plant Development.

Mr. Anthony Chay, Siemens Ltd. President & CEO, added “As Thailand’s Energy
consumption continuously grows, selecting a powerful, steady and sustainable
CCPP to manage the country’s most essential utility is vital. I’m very pleased that
Siemens was chosen as a trusted partner to contribute in the ever growing demands
within the Energy business and hope that we will be able to contribute to more
projects in the future.”
During the opening speech, Mr. Norbert Reinhard, CFO of Siemens Energy
Solutions also stated “I would also like to thank EGAT, our long term partner in
Thailand, for the trust given to the Siemens and Marubeni team. Our team has
worked tirelessly to hand over the power plant on original schedule, despite
unexpected situations such as floods. . The timely completion of this project is
something that every single person involved in the project can be very proud of. I
hope this project will be yet another milestone in a solid and long-term partnership
with EGAT to build a great future for Thailand! ”
Following Wang Noi 4, the Siemens and Marubeni consortium will be completing
Chana 2 CCPP, a further two single-shaft unit in the summer of 2014. Power plants
with Siemens turbine generator sets, including Chon Buri IPT, Chana 1 (previously
known as Songkhla), Bang Pakong 5, and Glow are making a major contribution to
environmentally friendly power generation in Thailand.
High-efficiency combined cycle power plants and the associated service are part of
Siemens’ Environmental Portfolio. Around 43 percent of its total revenue stems from
green products and solutions. That makes Siemens one of the world’s leading
providers of eco-friendly technology.
