Oct 8, 2026
Shanghai, China, October 8, 2026 -- China News Service (CNS) praises Shanghai Electric’s recent contract for Unit 3 of the Samalaju Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Project in Sarawak, Malaysia, highlighting it as the first overseas deployment of a heavy-duty gas turbine manufactured by the Chinese company.

The deal is seen as a milestone in the international commercialization of China's heavy-duty gas turbine technology, CNS said in a news report issued on Sept. 29.

According to the report, Shanghai Electric will provide a complete package of major equipment for the 500-megawatt-class power plant, including gas and steam turbines, generators, heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and an air-cooled system.
It will also serve as an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor and provide long-term lifecycle services covering the major equipment.
“This is not simply an equipment export, but a substantive breakthrough for China’s heavy-duty gas turbines in international commercial competition,” Li Wenkai, deputy head of the Power Generation Engineering Consultancy Department under the China Electric Power Planning & Engineering Institute, quoted as saying by CNS.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Electric is also providing an integrated solution, with the core equipment manufactured within its own industrial system and coordinated under a unified project framework, CNS said.
Unlike projects that combine equipment from multiple suppliers, this model reduces the need for owners or EPC contractors to coordinate interfaces, technical parameters and control systems across different vendors. It also brings responsibility, technical interfaces, performance guarantees and project management under a unified framework.
“The Malaysian market is a mature commercial market, where clients make equipment selections based on technology, delivery and full lifecycle costs,” Liu Zhitan, deputy director of the Gas Turbine Power Generation Specialized Committee of the Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering, told CNS.
The Samalaju project demonstrated Shanghai Electric’s overseas engineering competitiveness and core equipment capabilities, CNS said.
Chinese media also pointed out that the move also reflects changing demand in international power markets. Overseas developers are increasingly seeking turnkey solutions backed by long-term services rather than procuring individual pieces of equipment from multiple suppliers .
The deal comes as the global gas turbine market faces tight supply. Statistics show that global gas turbine orders reached about 90-100 GW in 2025, while global manufacturing capacity stood at around 55–60 GW, highlighting a significant supply-demand imbalance.
