Originally developed to address the power gap from the retirement of aging coal-
fired plants, the plant is expected to serve as a critical asset within the PJM (
Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection) grid — the largest wholesale electricity
market in the United States.

Building on hundreds of global installations, Hanwha Power successfully commissioned
its first Fuel Gas Compressors (FGC) in the U.S by providing three units to the 
highly efficient CCGT power plant. These units feature Variable Frequency Drive (
VFD) technology specifically engineered to ensure uninterrupted operation by automatically
adjusting to the extreme seasonal pipeline pressure fluctuations common in the PJM
region.

Beyond the equipment supply, Hanwha Power has also secured a 9-year Long-Term Service
Agreement (LTSA), covering capital spare parts and maintenance services through 
three major overhaul cycles. Under the agreement, Hanwha Power’s Houston service
center will serve as the primary hub for on-site support and component refurbishment,
ensuring comprehensive lifecycle management for the units. This long-term partnership
is expected to serve as a cornerstone of Hanwha’s expansion of its service footprint
in the North American market.

Joo Mong Choi, The CEO of Trumbull Asset Management, stated, "The successful commissioning
of the Trumbull Energy Center and the deployment of Hanwha Power’s advanced compressors
represent a significant milestone, showcasing the world-class reliability of Korean
power generation technology in the U.S. market. As we contribute to the region’s
clean energy transition by supplying stable power to the PJM grid, we look forward
to further expanding our footprint in the North American power sector through continued,
strong partnerships with leading Korean companies."

"Securing both the equipment supply contract and a long-term service agreement for
this project reflects the confidence our client has placed in Hanwha Power’s technical
and operational capabilities," said Prakash Nair, Hanwha Power’s Chief Commercial
Officer. "This project is a strong foundation for Hanwha Power’s long-term presence
in the U.S. power generation market — not only in equipment supply, but in service
partnerships that last."

Meanwhile, Hanwha Power plans to further strengthen its supply of eco-friendly, 
high-efficiency power generation solutions and expand its service business across
key markets, including North America, leveraging its accumulated technological expertise
and operational experience in the global power equipment sector.
