Hanwha Power Announces Successful Commission of 950 MW Trumbull Energy Center in Ohio

LCG, June 26, 2026-- Hanwha Power announced that the commissioning and opening ceremony for the Trumbull Energy Center Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant (CCGT) was held on Wednesday, marking the successful start-up of the 950 MW facility located in Trumbull County, Ohio. The key project partners, including Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd. (KOSPO), Gemma Power Systems, Siemens Energy, Ohio state government officials, the Korean Consul General, and project financing lenders attended the ceremony.

The Trumbull Energy Center was originally developed to replace the capacity from the retirement of aging coal-fired plants. Today, the natural gas-fired, highly efficient CCGT is expected to be a key generation asset within PJM. The groundbreaking for the facility was held in April 2023 and hosted by Trumbull Asset Management, the company formed by the project’s equity investors — Korea Southern Power Co., Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corp. and Siemens Energy’s Power Development & Investments. The three entities had acquired the project in 2022 from developer Clean Energy Future.

The Trumbull Energy Center includes two Siemens Energy SGT6-8000H CTGs, two HRSGs, and a single Siemens Energy ST in a 2x2x1 configuration. The efficient Siemens Energy H-class gas turbines will enable the facility to produce electricity at a very low net heat rate.

Hanwha Power successfully commissioned its first Fuel Gas Compressors (FGC) in the U.S by delivering three units to the Trumbull Energy Center. These units feature Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology specifically engineered to ensure uninterrupted operation by automatically adjusting to the extreme seasonal pipeline pressure fluctuations common in the PJM region.

Hanwha Power stated that it has secured a 9-year Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA), covering capital spare parts and maintenance services through three major overhaul cycles. Under the agreement, Hanwha Power's Houston service center will serve as the primary hub for on-site support and component refurbishment, ensuring comprehensive lifecycle management for the units. This long-term partnership is expected to be a fundamental platform for Hanwha's expansion of its service footprint in the North American market.

The CEO of Trumbull Asset Management stated, "The successful commissioning of the Trumbull Energy Center and the deployment of Hanwha Power's advanced compressors represent a significant milestone, showcasing the world-class reliability of Korean power generation technology in the U.S. market. As we contribute to the region's clean energy transition by supplying stable power to the PJM grid, we look forward to further expanding our footprint in the North American power sector through continued, strong partnerships with leading Korean companies."

Hanwha Power's Chief Commercial Officer said, "Securing both the equipment supply contract and a long-term service agreement for this project reflects the confidence our client has placed in Hanwha Power's technical and operational capabilities. This project is a strong foundation for Hanwha Power's long-term presence in the U.S. power generation market — not only in equipment supply, but in service partnerships that last."

Hanwha Power plans to further strengthen its supply high-efficiency power generation solutions and expand its service business across key markets, including North America.
