Decarbonization in action
Explore the future of energy
See how GE Vernova's Gas Power business is helping to build a world that works.
Overview
Steady economic growth in Malaysia has called for a steady increase in power capability. GE Vernova partnered with Southern Power Generation (SPG) in the city of Pasir Gudang, Johor to meet this energy challenge for the Track 4A power plant—as well as to address the country’s spreading decarbonization effort.
The 9HA.02 is GE Vernova's most advanced gas turbine in the 50-Hz range. Rated at 575 MW under ISO conditions, it pushes net efficiency beyond 64%. GE Vernova integrated two of the units into two of the plant’s single-shaft generating blocks. Now, Southern Power Generation’s Track 4A power plant (Sultan Ibrahim Power Plant) runs on GE Vernova's 9HA.02 combined-cycle heavy-duty gas turbines—an industry-first in commercial operation.
Outcomes
safe man-hours on the project
total plant-output capacity
homes able to benefit from Track 4A
From a longstanding relationship with GE Vernova, we trust its HA technology and are proud to see hard work and efficiency achieve the start of GE Vernova's first-ever commercial-operation 9HA.02 gas turbines, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, without having to compromise on health and safety.

Adding to that unique power is an STF-D650 steam turbine driving a W88 generator—and another first for an H-Class plant, GE Vernova also installed its Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator for combined-cycle performance.
Control is provided by GE Vernova's Mark* VIe Plant Control System, and is monitored with GE Vernova's Asset Performance Management software. SPG will also benefit from a 21-year full-spectrum agreement for digital solutions, plant-improvement services, major inspections of the twin 9HA.02 units, and technical advisory services.
While gas power remains critical for Malaysia’s prosperity, the Ibrahim Power Plant now sees a low cost of gas-to-electricity conversion. Streamlined combustion dynamics allow for 50% hydrogen blends. And, as new forms of power generation and sustainability go hand in hand, GE Vernova's advanced dry low–NOx system features a wide operability range and inherently reduced carbon emissions.
With over 10 million safe man-hours on the project, and an ultimate combined-cycle gas power of 1,440 MW from GE Vernova, Southern Power Generation will support the region's goals for transitioning to a sustainable energy future—one that can power up to three million Malaysian homes.
