Mitsubishi Power is developing a 500MW combined-cycle power plant in Sarawak, Malaysia, equipped with gas turbine technology for hydrogen co-firing. This project aligns with Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), which aims to decarbonize the power sector amid rising electricity demand, particularly from data centers projected to require 19.5GW by 2035.

The plant will utilize the M701F gas turbine, capable of co-firing 30% hydrogen, contributing to reduced emissions while maintaining energy security. The energy transition in Malaysia will also rely on natural gas as a bridge fuel, with Mitsubishi's J-Series gas turbines offering significant efficiency and emission reductions. Strategic partnerships, such as with TNB Genco, aim to advance hydrogen technology and skills development, positioning Malaysia as a regional leader in sustainable energy solutions.
