• New gas-fired power plant to serve as special grid-related equipment
• Plant can provide up to 300 Megawatts in as little as to 30 minutes
• Modern service center enables purely digital remote operation

Siemens Energy will build a new turnkey gas-fired power plant as special grid-related equipment in Leipheim, southwestern Bavaria, in a contract with LEAG, an energy provider based in eastern Germany. The grid supporting plant will be used at the request of the transmission grid operator Amprion to ensure grid stability in an emergency and therefore ensure a reliable power supply in southern Germany. Emergency situations can occur when there’s a failure of equipment in the grid, like cables. The Leipheim gas-fired power plant will be used exclusively to protect and ensure the reliability of the transmission grid. It’s therefore not available to the free energy market, according to the German Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz). The special grid-related equipment in Leipheim will be able to supply an electrical capacity of up to 300 Megawatts in a maximum period of 30 minutes. Siemens Energy will also manage its operation and maintenance (O&M), initially for five years, in collaboration with LEAG. The plant will be operated entirely from Siemens Energy’s ISO-certified Remote O&M Support Center (ROMSC) in Erlangen, Bavaria. This means that it will be one of the first power plants worldwide to be operated purely digitally from a remote location.

• New combined cycle power plant will have a generation capacity of 390 megawatt (MW)
• Supports the region’s vision of clean, high-quality, and affordable energy
• SGT5-4000F will be first F-class turbine in Sub-Saharan Africa

Siemens Energy has signed an agreement with Spanish EPC contractor TSK to provide the company’s highly efficient energy technology and services to Atinkou (formerly known as Ciprel V), a new combined cycle power plant to be built in Jacqueville, Côte d'Ivoire. Owned by ATINKOU S.A., a subsidiary of Eranove, the power plant will have an installed capacity of 390 MW in combined cycle and introduces the first F-class gas turbine in the Sub-Saharan Africa. The plant is scheduled to begin operations in late 2022.

• Joint trial of a large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in district heating network
• Waste heat and renewable electricity utilized to achieve heating transition in Berlin
• Federal government-funded project links heat, cooling, and electricity

Vattenfall Wärme Berlin AG and Siemens Energy signed an agreement today to demonstrate and trial a new large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in Berlin. In the Qwark³ project (the German acronym represents “coupling of district heating, power, and cooling”), they will test the use of this new technology for the first time at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz to generate green district heating using waste heat and electricity from renewables, and feed it into Berlin’s district heating network. The project is funded by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy as part of its 7th Energy Research Program: The aim of the pilot project is to establish robust claims regarding the technical and economic potential of generating heat using large-scale and high-temperature heat pumps.

• Continuation of Siemens Energy’s strategic cooperation with Shenzhen Energy
• The next world-class performance benchmark for F-class combined cycle project

Siemens Energy has been selected by Shenzhen Energy Corporation (Shenzhen Energy) in China to supply two 460-megawatt (MW) F-class gas turbine power islands for Phase Two of the Corporation’s Fengda Power Plant Natural Gas Power Generation Expansion Project. The order marks another milestone resulting from the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by the two companies in 2019.

• Two SGT5-4000F units for Guangdong Energy Group new CHP project
• Most advanced F-class technology to date
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction of up to 60% by utilizing natural gas as fuel source versus coal 

Siemens Energy has reached an agreement with Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. (Guangdong Energy Group), to provide F-class gas turbine island equipment for the Zhaoqing Dinghu Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation project. Located in Dinghu District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, the project is expected to be put into operation in 2023. When completed, it will become a key part for optimizing the energy structure and layout of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and building a modern energy supply system.  

• First SGT-800 gas turbine order in Japan for a new chemical power plant in Chiba Prefecture
• Supports Japan’s transitional efforts and shift towards a low-carbon energy economy
• Paves the way for the use of gas turbines for cogeneration and other applications

As Japan looks to gradually phase out the use of inefficient coal-fired thermal power generation plants and make the transition towards low-carbon energy production, EPC customer JGC Japan Corporation is leading by example with the first order for an SGT-800 gas turbine in the country from Siemens Energy. The order was secured with Siemens Energy for the industrial gas turbine and its related components to be installed for a power plant that JGC will build for Sumitomo Chemical in Chiba Works of Ichihara City in Chiba.

• Rotating grid stabilization technology will provide stability services to help the grid meet the challenges of the energy transition
• Siemens Energy will install new technology at Uniper’s Grain site and repurpose two steam turbine generators at Killingholme 
• Both projects will become operational in 2021 

Siemens Energy has been awarded contracts by global energy company Uniper to provide rotating grid stabilization technology at two sites in the UK. This new technology will enable Uniper to deliver grid stability services to energy system operator National Grid ESO, through generating inertia which helps balance grid frequency, without generating power.
