Siemens expands open cycle power plant in Kuwait with steam turbine
Turbo set to increase the capacity of the Az Zour South 3 power plant by around 263 megawatts
Gas turbine power plant will be transformed into an efficient combined cycle power plant
Siemens has received an order to deliver an industrial steam turbine package to expand the Az Zour South 3 open cycle gas turbine power plant to a combined cycle power plant. The plant is located in Kuwait and is operated by the Ministry of Electricity & Water (MEW). Siemens' customer is the Chinese EPC contractor SEPCOIII. The expansion will increase the total installed capacity of the plant by 263 megawatts (MW) without using any additional gas. The combined cycle power plant is expected to go into operation in mid-2019.
