Siemens Energy to supply key components for one of Europe’s most efficient gas-fired power plants
“This
project is a prime example of how the determination of policy-makers, private
investors, and technology providers can make a significant difference in accelerating
the energy transition while also balancing the energy trilemma. Our latest HL-class
gas turbine technology in combined cycle configuration will replace the
capacity of the old coal-fired Mintia power plant and slash CO2 emissions by
more than 50 percent when completed. I want to congratulate the Romanian
government on this iconic project and thank Mass Global for their trust in
Siemens Energy,” said Karim Amin, Member of the Executive Board of Siemens
Energy.
“I’m very proud that, with our first project in Europe,
we’re building one of the most modern and environmentally friendly gas-fired
power plants,” said Ahmad Ismail Saleh, owner of Mass Global Energy Rom S.R.l.
“It’s not only a strategic investment in the Romanian energy sector, the new
power plant will mark the beginning of the decarbonization of the region’s
former coal-fired power generation with a planned simple cycle operation by the
first half of May 2025 and combined cycle completion in the first quarter of
2026.”
The new plant will be fired
with domestic natural gas. The Siemens Energy scope of supply includes two gas
turbines of type SGT5-9000HL with associated generators, an SST5-5000 steam
turbine with SGen-3000W generator, and the SPPA-T3000 control system. In the
50Hz market it’s Siemens Energy's first HL-class power plant in a 2x1 multi-shaft
configuration. The waste heat from two gas turbines is combined to generate
steam for a steam turbine. The plant will be located at the existing Mintia
power plant site about seven kilometers from Deva in the Transylvania region.
