YOKOHAMA, JAPAN (August 10, 2017) – Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) signed contract with Cairo Electricity Production Company (CEPC), a subsidiary of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) for the upgrade of Cairo North Combined Cycle Power Station Module I. The natural gas-fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power station has a rated output of 750 MW and uses two M701F gas turbines as the core component. The upgrade will increase output, improve energy generation efficiency and reduce downtime losses through extension of the inspection intervals, thereby contributing to a more stable energy supply. Delivery and commencement of operations is scheduled for the second half of 2018.
