PS5 Block 4 Expansion Project
Alba's Power Station 5 (PS5) Block 4 is a new 680.9-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power plant that expands the existing PS5 facility.
This state-of-the-art J-class gas turbine addition boasts superior efficiency compared to Power Stations 3 & 4. Officially entered commercial operations on 22 December 2024, Block 4 boosted PS5's total capacity to 2,481 MW, and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of aluminium produced.
A consortium of Mitsubishi Power and SEPCOIII was responsible for the entire project lifecycle, from design and engineering to construction and commissioning.
