ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. December 1, 2015 Electric Power Development Co., Ltd
Our largest power plant in Thailand has started operations and has made us the global player with the overseas capacity of approximately 7,500MW generating facilities.
Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. ('J-POWER') would like to announce that its U-Thai Unit No.2 Power Plant ('UT2') commenced commercial operation on December 1, 2015 on schedule. UT2 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 UT2 operation, the total output of all the overseas IPP projects that J-POWER has investment in is approximately 20,400 MW (J-POWER's equity ownership in output is approximately 7,500 MW), and the total output of all the IPP projects in Thailand that J-POWER has equity ownership in (approximately 4,500MW) accounts for 10 % of the whole output in Thailand. J-POWER will keep promoting the overseas power generation projects, not only in Thailand but also in many other countries.
