Toshiba Commissions 450-Megawatt Steam Turbine Generator at Montgomery County Power Station

The state-of-the-art Montgomery County Power Station achieved commercial operation well ahead of schedule.

WEST ALLIS, WI: Toshiba America Energy Systems Corporation (TAES) announced it has completed supply and commissioning of a 450-megawatt steam turbine generator at the Montgomery County Power Station in Willis, Texas. This milestone contributed to the commencement of commercial operations of the Montgomery County Power Station ahead of schedule.

The steam turbine generator package was manufactured by the Toshiba Keihin Factory in Japan, and was installed by McDermott International. The power station, owned by Entergy Texas, Inc., began commercial operation on January 1, 2021.

“I am extremely proud of the TAES project team and our onsite technical advisors who contributed to this critical power supply project serving communities across Southeast Texas,” said TAES President and CEO Ken Takagi.

The Montgomery County Power Station is a 993 MW combined cycle power plant, which improves generating efficiency and reduces fuel consumption by using excess heat to power more than one generating system. The power station will help provide electrical power to more than 461,000 customers in 27 counties in the southeast Texas region.

Toshiba, a world leader in energy solutions and North America market leader for steam turbine generators, previously received orders from McDermott to supply steam turbine generators to the J. Wayne Leonard Power Station in 2016, and the Lake Charles Power station in 2017, both located in Louisiana and part of the Entergy power generation portfolio.
