Background
NS Energy reported that the original plan and amendments was approved in 2019: "The Gulf PD independent power producer (IPP) project is being developed as part of Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) development plan, which envisions the industrial development of 13,285km² of coastal region spanning Thailand’s three eastern provinces including Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao."[10]
In November 2019, Mitsui announced it was investing in the Rayong power plant.[11] Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. will be the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.[12]
In November 2019, the Asian Development Bank said that the power station would help replace "more than 8,500 MW of generating capacity – equivalent to about 20 per cent of current national energy capacity – of ageing power plants [that] will be retired between 2020 and 2025."[13]
In December 2019, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems shipped the first eight turbines to Bangkok, four for this plant and four for the Chonburi Ng Project power station.[14]
