SHANGHAI, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727)
has achieved a milestone in the high-end overseas energy sector by securing the

Under the agreement, Shanghai Electric will deliver a full EPC turnkey solution 
for the gas-fired power plant, coupled with a 25-year long-term service agreement(
LTSA) covering all major equipment. Notably, every core component—from gas turbines
and steam turbines to generators, heat recovery steam generators, and air-cooled
systems—will be manufactured in-house by Shanghai Electric, which will also serve
as the sole provider of the long-term maintenance and service program. This integrated,
end-to-end capability gives Shanghai Electric full life-cycle coverage, spanning
equipment manufacturing, systems integration, and multi-decade operational support—
a vertical model that brings the company on par with the established global leaders
in the heavy-duty gas turbine sector.

Shanghai Electric’s current heavy-duty gas turbine lineup features two principal
models, with output ratings of 300 MW and 78 MW, respectively. To date, the company
has delivered 103 units, with total installed capacity from commissioned projects
exceeding 21,000 MW. The units covered by Shanghai Electric’s long-term service 
and maintenance programs have accumulated more than 1.3 million operating hours.
With robust production capacity available across both turbine classes, Shanghai 
Electric is positioned to offer new units for delivery as early as 2028. Beyond 
the Malaysian energy developer that awarded the current contract, project developers
in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam have also expressed strong 
interest in placing orders.
