- Corporate real estate management now also for external customers
-
Renting, development and consulting in focus
- Intelligent real estate in close cooperation with other Siemens units
Siemens Real Estate (SRE) has been managing Siemens' real estate portfolio for more than 20 years and, as a versatile and future-oriented corporate real estate manager, has repeatedly adapted to the challenges of the market. Effective immediately, SRE will make the expertise it has acquired available to external clients for the first time. Companies that do not yet have their own professional real estate management will thus have access to SRE's knowledge and experience in the three product groups of consulting, renting and real estate and location development.
- Turnkey construction of two 90 MW power plant units
- Production of process steam and district heat
- Annual savings of up to 1 million metric tons of CO2
Siemens will build a highly efficient combined cycle power plant as a turnkey project at the Marl Chemical Park in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The order was placed by the specialty chemical group Evonik Industries. The new industrial power plant will consist of two units, each with an electrical capacity of 90 megawatts, and produce both electricity and process steam for the chemical park. The site’s integrated steam network will also supply district heat for about 2,000 homes in the future. The plant’s fuel efficiency will thus exceed 90 percent. With this combined cycle power plant, Evonik will replace its last coal-fired plant at the Marl Chemical Park. Because the plant will produce environmentally friendly electricity, process steam, and district heat from natural gas, the company will be able to cut CO2 emissions by one million metric tons per year. The plant thus makes an important contribution to decarbonization. Construction is scheduled to begin later in 2019, and the power plant is expected to go into operation in 2022. Siemens Financial Services (SFS), Siemens’ financing arm, developed a leasing financing solution specifically for Evonik in collaboration with Siemens Gas and Power. Together with the KfW IPEX Bank and LBBW, SFS will handle refinancing of the leasing agreement. The project volume is in the lower triple-digit million euro range.
- Facilities in Baiji will power Iraq’s biggest refinery and deliver
electricity to thousands of homes in liberated areas
- Siemens equipment includes E-class gas turbines, substations and
generators
- Project is start of Phase 2 of Siemens’ Roadmap for Iraq and will be
completed 28 months after financial closing by Iraq’s government
Siemens
and Orascom Construction signed an agreement with Iraq’s Ministry of
Electricity to rebuild Baiji 1 and Baiji 2 power plants in northern Iraq. The
plants will have a combined generation capacity of 1.6 gigawatts (GW) when
completed and are a major step in Siemens’ roadmap for rebuilding Iraq's power
sector that has already added more than 700 megawatts to Iraq’s grid.
At this year's World Energy Congress (WEC) Siemens Gas and Power will give deep insights into how new energy trends are driving the future of energy and how the company is helping its customers navigate the demands of today’s industries and societies.

- Siemens to replace four floating power generation barges in the Upper Bay of New York City
- SeaFloat turnkey solution will provide reliable peaking power for New York City's renewable ambitions
- Boost power generating efficiency by nearly 50 percent
- 20-year long-term service agreement signed
Astoria Generating Company and Siemens signed a contract for
the turnkey construction of two SeaFloat power barges to be equipped with eight
Siemens SGT-A65 gas turbines. The barges will replace four existing power
barges located at Gowanus Generating Station in the Upper Bay of Brooklyn, New
York City, resulting in cleaner, more efficient energy production. Siemens will
preinstall the high-efficiency power generating facilities on two newly
constructed floating barges with a generation capacity of about 300 megawatts
(MW) each. Retrofitting the station with SGT-A65 gas turbines and generators
will improve the plants' power generating efficiency by nearly 50 percent while
significantly reducing potential emissions of pollutants like carbon dioxide
and monoxide – all while using the existing gas infrastructure.
- Turnkey construction and operation and maintenance for 20 years
- Order worth about €450 million
- 40 percent equity participation during project development phase
Siemens will build a new combined cycle power plant as a turnkey project in Landivisiau in western France. The company will also operate and maintain the plant for a period of 20 years. With an installed capacity of 446 megawatts, the power plant will help to reliably cover Brittany's growing demand for electricity. The order volume is approximately €450 million. Siemens Financial Services (SFS), the financing arm of Siemens, held an equity stake in the project, ensuring stability during the entire development phase.
- Viking Link ensures increased security of supply and integration of renewable energy
- Siemens to deliver both HVDC converter stations
Siemens has been awarded a contract to deliver two converter stations for the first high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Great Britain and Denmark. Viking Link will enable the exchange of electricity up to 1,400 megawatts (MW) to provide increased power-supply reliability and security to consumers in both countries. By allowing transmission to flow in both directions, Viking Link will support the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. The interconnector is being jointly developed by National Grid Ventures (Great Britain) and Energinet (Denmark) via National Grid Viking Link Ltd. and Energinet Eltransmission A/S. Viking Link is scheduled to begin commercial operation at the end of 2023.
