Mitsubishi Power has delivered two M501JAC gas turbines to Intermountain Power Project (IPP) Renewed in Delta, Utah, a power plant that will source hydrogen when it begins operation in 2025 from the much-watched giant Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES Delta) project.
IPP Renewed’s advanced J-series turbines—each rated at 420 MW (in simple-cycle at ISO conditions)—are slated to replace two 1986–completed coal-fired units at the 1,800-MW IPP in Millard County, which lies in the Great Basin region of western Utah. The two M501JAC turbines will be capable of utilizing a fuel blend of 30% hydrogen by volume when they begin operation in 2025.
