The South Bangkok power plant is a combined cycle power plant in Mueang Samut Prakan County, Samut Prakan Province , Thailand . The installed capacity of the power plant is approx. 2700 MW . The power plant is owned by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and is also operated by EGAT.
The South Bangkok power plant was originally a heavy fuel oil -fired thermal power plant ; after natural gas was found in the Gulf of Thailand , the firing of the systems was switched to natural gas in the 1980s. Construction of the power plant began in 1968; it went into operation in December 1970 with the first unit from Unit 1.
Power plant units
The power plant currently consists of four blocks. The following table gives an overview:
| block | unit | Max. Power (MW) | Start of operation | turbine | generator | Steam boiler | status |

Unit 1 was shut down in July 2008 (units 1 to 3) and 2015 (units 4 to 5). The new Block 5 is to be built in place of Block 1.
Blocks 2 to 4 each consist of two gas turbines and a downstream steam turbine . A waste heat steam generator is connected to each of the two gas turbines ; the waste heat steam generator then supplies the steam turbine.
In the two units of block 5, however, the gas turbine and the steam turbine are connected to a common shaft ( single shaft ).
Others
The cost of building Unit 4 of Unit 1 was estimated by the World Bank in 1971 at $ 43.1 million . The value of the contract for the construction of Block 5 is stated at USD 550 million.
