SINGAPORE (October 28, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) through its subsidiaries and YTL Power International Berhad’s wholly-owned subsidiary, YTL PowerSeraya Pte Limited today announced the order for a GE Vernova 9HA.01 gas turbine expected to power a new hydrogen-capable 600 megawatts (MW) combined cycle power plant to be built in Pulau Seraya Power Station (PSPS) on Jurong Island, Singapore. The plant is expected to be GE Vernova’s first hydrogen-blended natural gas fueled facility in Singapore.

GE Vernova, POWERCHINA and SEPCO III, are part of a consortium to carry out an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the development of the combined-cycle power plant slated for operation by 2027. The contract, including also  an STF-A650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, a triple pressure with reheat Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)  was acknowledged in a groundbreaking ceremony officiated by Mr. John Ng, Group CEO of YTL PowerSeraya in the presence of Dr. Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry in conjunction with the annual week-long energy event Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW).

“By 2027, we intend to expand our power generation capabilities in Jurong Island, Singapore with one of the most advanced natural gas power technologies that is hydrogen-compatible, to help meet the nation’s growing electricity needs and ensure energy security,” said Mr John Ng, Group CEO of YTL PowerSeraya. “Our collaboration with GE Vernova on the 600MW hydrogen-capable CCGT project marks a significant milestone in Singapore’s journey toward a more sustainable energy future. This collaboration leverages the strengths of both companies — GE Vernova is a global leader in hydrogen and gas turbine technology, and we are committed to pioneering lower GHG emissions, more efficient energy in Singapore. Together, we are laying the groundwork for a lower-carbon future, and this project is a crucial step in advancing Singapore's energy transition and enhancing its energy resilience.”

Running initially on natural gas, the 9HA.01 gas turbine is capable to burn up to 50 percent by volume of hydrogen blended with natural gas, with a technology pathway to 100% in the future. GE Vernova’s advanced DLN2.6e combustion system, that is standard on current 9HA.01/9HA.02/7HA.03 gas turbine offerings, was developed as part of the US Department of Energy’s High Hydrogen Turbine program and enables combustion of high hydrogen without diluent. In addition, GE Vernova’s H-class combined-cycle power plant is an industry leader in terms of flexibility and is capable to reach full combined-cycle plant load in less than 30 minutes, making it a great complement to intermittent renewable sources.

“GE Vernova sees hydrogen-blended natural gas serving as a catalyst capable to accelerate the world’s efforts towards the path of decarbonizing the power generation sector,” said Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO, Asia of GE Vernova’s Gas Power. “We are pleased that YTL PowerSeraya selected our H-Class technology aiming to deliver highly efficient power generation that can emit less carbon when blended with hydrogen. We look forward to teaming with SEPCOIII and POWERCHINA to bring lower-carbon power generation to Singapore, in alignment with Singapore’s commitment to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050.”

In addition, GE Vernova has established in Singapore its Global Repair Service Solution center (GRSS) which serves as a HA repair global center of excellence (CoE) and is the first HA repair development center outside of the USA--as well as one of GE Vernova’s only four heavy-duty rotor service centers in the world. The GRSS also serves as an F-class bucket repair global Center of Excellence, GE Vernova’s largest F-class turbine blade repair service center in the world, and the largest and currently only GE Vernova aeroderivative repair service center with combustor DVM coating. In 2021, the Advanced Manufacturing & Repair Technology (AMRT) Centre was established within the GRSS to strengthen repair capabilities in the region, particularly for the HA fleet.
