Kawasaki Gas Turbine Cogeneration Power Plant 34 MW / 60 Hz

This modern 34 MW Kawasaki L30A Gas Turbine Power Plant is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly cogeneration facility designed for industrial and utility-scale power generation. Manufactured in 2020 and maintained in excellent condition, the plant combines reliable electrical generation with heat recovery, achieving total fuel utilization efficiency of up to 85.5%. Operation was stopped on Stopped in March 2024 in good condition and the plant was preserved with KHI’s maintenance instructions.  

The plant is powered by a Kawasaki L30A two-shaft industrial gas turbine featuring a 14-stage axial-flow compressor, advanced Dry Low Emission (DLE) combustion system and high-efficiency turbine technology. The unit delivers approximately 34 MW electrical output with thermal efficiency exceeding 41%, while maintaining exceptionally low NOx emissions of approximately 15 ppm without water or steam injection. Major overhauls are typically required only every six years.

Power generation is provided through a Meiden synchronous generator rated at 37,945 kVA, producing electricity at 11 kV and 60 Hz. The cogeneration configuration also includes a Kawasaki absorption chiller utilizing recovered thermal energy to provide approximately 2.46 MW of cooling capacity, significantly improving overall plant efficiency and operating economics.

Designed for reliability and simplified maintenance, the Kawasaki L30A features modular construction and proven Japanese engineering. This little-used 2020 power plant represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a modern, high-efficiency, low-emission power generation asset at a fraction of replacement cost.
