Electric Power Development Co., Ltd
Commencement of Commercial Operation of U-Thai Power Project Unit
No.1 Power Plant in Thailand
Our largest power plant in Thailand has started operations and has made us the global player with the overseas capacity of more than 6,700MW generating facilities.
Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. ("J-POWER") would like to announce that its U-Thai Unit No.1 Power Plant ("UT1") commenced commercial operation on June 1, 2015 on schedule. UT1 is located in Thailand with the capacity of 800 MW.
U-Thai Power Project ("UT") was awarded in the 2007 IPP Bid of Thailand and its project finance agreement was executed on October 24, 2012, as announced
previously on our website . 【Map of Project Location】
UT was developed by Gulf JP UT Company Limited ("GUT"), a subsidiary of J-POWER (investment ratio: 90%). GUT will sell the whole electric power to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand ("EGAT") for a term of 25 years according to the relevant Power Purchase Agreement.
After the commencement of UT1 operation, the total output of all the overseas IPP projects that J-POWER has investment in is approximately 20,348 MW (J-POWER's equity ownership in output is approximately 6,788MW).
U-Thai Unit No.2 Power Plant is under construction along with the schedule, based on which the operation will be commenced in 2015.
