June 25 (Asia Today) -- South Korea's Hanwha Power has entered the U.S. combined-cycle power generation market by supplying fuel gas compressors to a plant in Ohio for the first time.
The company also secured a long-term maintenance agreement, establishing a base from which to expand its equipment service business in North America.
Hanwha Power said Thursday that it participated in a ceremony Wednesday marking the completion and start of commercial operations at the Trumbull Energy Center in Trumbull County, Ohio.
The 950-megawatt, high-efficiency combined-cycle gas turbine plant was developed with investment led by Korea Southern Power.
