Background on Plant

The power complex is owned by Glow Group of Engie. The complex is primarily gas-fired but includes Glow Energy CFB 3, an 85 MW subcritical coal unit that began operating in November 2010.[1]

It also includes Glow SPP 2 and 3, a hybrid natural gas and coal-fired cogeneration facility that began commercial operation in March 1999. The plant is divided in two parts: (i) two 35 MW gas-fired gas turbines and (ii), two 222 MW hybrid cogeneration units, each comprising a steam turbine and coal-fired circulating fluidized bed boiler.[2]

In June 2018 Engie sold its interest in Glow Energy to Thai independent power producer Global Power Synergy Public Company.[3]
