Mitsubishi Power deliver gas turbines to US power project

Mitsubishi Power has supplied two hydrogen-ready gas turbines to the Intermountain Power Project (IPP) Renewed in Delta, Utah, it said on July 28. The IPP project is operated by Intermountain Power Agency.

These turbines will initially run on a blend of 30% hydrogen and natural gas, with the goal of achieving 100% hydrogen operation by 2045, enabling dispatchable carbon-free utility-scale power generation.

The delivery of the turbines was completed in June and July 2023. Mitsubishi Power will provide service and maintenance for the turbines under a 20-year long-term agreement.

The IPP Renewed project, once operational, is expected to produce 840 MW of net generation output and significantly reduce carbon emissions by over 75% compared to the existing IPP operations.

Additionally, Mitsubishi Power and Magnum Development are jointly working on the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project (ACES Delta hub) adjacent to IPP. This utility-scale renewable energy hub will produce, store, and deliver green hydrogen to the western US. The ACES Delta hub will feed hydrogen to the IPP Renewed project, enabling the J-Class turbines' operation.
