The 2011 Solar Taurus 65 Gas Turbine – 6.3 MW – Complete Unit is a high-efficiency industrial gas turbine generator package designed for reliable continuous-duty and peaking power generation applications. Manufactured by Solar Turbines, the Taurus 65 platform is globally recognized for its durability, operational flexibility, and low-emission performance in utility, industrial, and oil & gas sectors.

This complete package is configured with the advanced SOLONOX low-emission combustion system, delivering approximately 6.3 MW ISO-rated output while maintaining efficient fuel consumption and reduced NOx emissions. The unit operates on natural gas and is configured for 50 Hz operation with a 6.3 kV Leroy Somer alternator. (ReflowX)

The turbine package was originally built in 2011, with the gas turbine core and gearbox reportedly replaced with new units in 2022, significantly reducing operational wear on critical rotating components. Recent borescope inspections confirmed the turbine and gearbox remain in serviceable condition with low running hours since overhaul. (ReflowX)

Supplied as a fully integrated containerized power generation system, the package includes all major auxiliary systems required for fast-track installation and operation. The complete scope includes the Taurus 65 gas turbine generator, gas train, oil cooling system, air inlet filtration, exhaust ducting, gas compressor package, control system, fire detection module, and associated balance-of-plant equipment.
