Shanghai Electric Wins First Overseas Heavy-Duty Turbine Contract
A 500-megawatt combined cycle gas turbine project in Malaysia marks a strategic breakthrough for Shanghai Electric, as the company secures its first overseas order for heavy-duty gas turbine technology. The contract signals a shift in the global energy market, positioning the Chinese manufacturer to compete directly with established international incumbents.
Shanghai Electric currently manages a portfolio of 103 units with a combined installed capacity exceeding 21,000 MW. With over 1.3 million operating hours recorded across its service programs, the firm is preparing to ramp up production for delivery as early as 2028. Following this Malaysian win, developers in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam have initiated discussions regarding similar projects, suggesting a broader regional adoption of the company's 300 MW and 78 MW turbine models.
