Overview
As Malaysia's economy and urbanization have advanced, so have greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) Plan, the country aims for a 45% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030. The Pulau Indah Power Plant was developed to support this ambitious environmental target.
GE’s 9HA gas turbine was engineered to be extremely efficient and flexible to help lower emissions. GE Vernova provided 600 MW worth of 9HA.01 gas turbine power, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, and a heat-recovery generator to the Palua Indah Combed Cycle Power Plant.

of service agreements
improved efficiency under ISO conditions
Malaysia has seen massive economic development and urbanization accompanied by increasing greenhouse gas emissions. It was crucial for us to select a highly efficient technology, like GE’s 9HA.01, to help reduce the amount of fuel used to generate electricity.
Datin Paduka Norazlina Zakaria
Executive Director of Pulau Indah Power Plant (PIPP)
GE Vernova provided two blocks of 600 megawatts, each including a GE Vernova 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, and a Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator (OT HRSG). Plant performance is being monitored through GE’s Mark* VIe Distributed Control System, showing operators how their plant is operating in real time.
For its full spectrum of advisory and maintenance services, GE Vernova signed a 21-year agreement with PIPP for the Pulau Indah Power Plant. PIPP is a Special Purpose Vehicle led by two prominent shareholders namely Worldwide Holdings Berhad and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).
Combined-cycle efficiency of the new equipment can reach more than 63% based on ISO conditions, delivering significant reduction in gas consumption and reducing emissions. This includes high ramp rates and fast start-up times to meet fluctuating demand, and the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas.
The successful commissioning of the Pulau Indah Power Plant exemplifies Malaysia's dedication to sustainable energy solutions. By integrating GE Vernova's cutting-edge technology, the plant not only meets current energy needs but also aligns with the nation's long-term environmental objectives.
