PR No. 206 HAVELI ESTABLISHES NEW GAS TURBINE INSTALLATION RECORD Islamabad

National Power Parks Management Company Private Limited (NPPMCL) achieved First Fire milestone of 2nd Gas Turbine at Haveli Bahadur Shah today at 12:06 p.m.

It took exactly 73 days from Gas Turbine’s arrival at site to First Fire, which is 21 days less than own record of fastest installation time ever achieved for a 9HA.01 (94 days First Fire of 1st Gas Turbine at Haveli).

This new record is exactly half the time taken by GE itself (146 days) for this machine in co-development of EDF power plant in Bouchain, France.

General Electric’s 9HA gas turbines are the world’s most efficient in terms of fuel consumption and are based on the most sophisticated technology available.

First fire of 2nd gas turbine comes only 21 days after the first fire of 1st gas turbine which was achieved on 28th April 2017. NPPMCL is committed to the cause of adding reliable electricity into the national grid as early as possible. Multiple teams of experts are working simultaneously round the clock on both power plants (Haveli & Balloki). 1st gas turbine has already begun supplying 380MW to the grid as per demand. After preliminary tests, 2nd gas turbine will also start adding another 380MW.
