Chimneys of PD Power

The 4 chimneys of Port Dickson Power which are about 40m high
are from 4 X 110MW GE9E open cycle Gas Turbine
giving a total output of 440MW.
This power plant looks more like a plant in a wetlands
as it is surrounded by a thick buffer of trees and natural lakes
to absorb sound emmitted from reaching the nearby housing.
The mangrove swamp inside and outside the plant attracts lot of wetland birds
like Kingfishers and Brahminy Kite.
