BEIJING, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- China’s power project contractor -- SEPCOIII Electric Power Construction Corporation (SEPCOIII) started excavation work for the main part of the Myanmar Thaketa power project on Dec. 9, 2016.
SEPCOIII is the EPC contractor for the Thaketa Project, which is to construct a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station using GE6F.03 gas turbines, with a designed installed capacity of 500 MW, of which 110 MW was scheduled for phase I.
The CCGT power station will be equipped with one gas turbine, one waste heat boiler, and one steam turbine and its construction will last for 22 months.
