Siemens has received its first order from
China for the
delivery of four SGT-800 gas turbines and the
associated generators.
The turbines will be installed in the Shanxi Guoxin
Baode and Xiyang decentralized
energy projects in Central China. The two combined cycle power plants with heat
extraction will have an overall capacity of 308 megawatts (MW). The
customer is Shanxi Natural Gas Limited Company, a subsidiary of Shanxi
Provincial
Guoxin Energy Development Group Co., Ltd.. Commercial
operation of the plants is scheduled for July 2017.
Siemens has received an order from Israel
for the first time for the turnkey construction of two industrial combined
cycle power plants. The two natural gas-fired power plants, Alon Tavor and
Ramat Gabriel, are to be built in northern Israel. Alon Tavor will supply a
creamery with electricity and process steam, while Ramat Gabriel will supply a
fiber factory. The Israeli energy provider, RD Energy, is the customer for both
power plants. Commissioning of the plants is scheduled for mid-2018.
