Mott MacDonald is Owner's Engineer on Thai National Power Project
Mott MacDonald has been appointed by Thai National Power (known as TNP and owned by International Power PLC) as Owner's Engineer for TNP2, a new 110MW gas-fired cogeneration project in Rayong, Thailand.
The TNP2 project will be located on a site adjacent to International Power's existing 143MW TNP gas-fired power plant. The majority of the output from the new plant (90MW) will be sold to the Energy Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA), with the balance of up to 20MW sold to industrial users. The new plant, which will be operational in 2012 will be owned and operated as a 100% subsidiary of the existing TNP project. The total project cost is estimated to be THB 4,400 million (£82 million).
As Owner's Engineer, Mott MacDonald will be responsible for the full design review of the contractors' work, together with equipment inspections, site supervision, commissioning and testing. The new gas-fired cogeneration plant will provide greater efficiency by generating 110MW of power through two General Electric LM6000F gas turbines as well as utilising the associated waste through heat recovery boilers and a single steam turbine.
David Brown, Mott MacDonald's director for the power team in Thailand said:
"This is a very prestigious appointment for our power professionals in Thailand and marks the first major Owner's Engineer project to be won and fully executed by our Power team in Thailand. Mott MacDonald has a wealth of expertise in delivering world class power projects and this commission follows our successful track record on International Power's Ras Laffan B in Qatar and Umm Al Nar in the United Arab Emirates."
