Energy planned for September 1, 2020
As expected,
a large majority of Siemens shareholders at today’s Extraordinary Shareholders’
Meeting voted to approve the spin-off of the company’s energy business to Siemens
Energy AG. This step paves the way for the establishment of an independent
company rigorously focused on the energy sector. In the future, Siemens AG will
concentrate on Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure and Siemens Mobility. In total, 61.94 percent of the capital stock of Siemens AG entitled to vote was represented at
the shareholders’ meeting, which was held as a virtual event due to the coronavirus
crisis. Approval of the Spin-off and Transfer Agreement between Siemens AG and Siemens
Energy AG was the only item on the meeting agenda. The agreement was approved by a
majority of 99.36 percent of
the capital stock represented. The highest number of participants following the

- Assistance sought from the state of NRW, the federal government, and the EU
- Lighthouse project for the energy transition with international appeal
In planning, building, and operating an energy farm on the grounds of Nivelsteiner Sandwerke, the city of Herzogenrath plans to cover its energy demand with zero CO2 emissions by 2030. The signing of a cooperation agreement between GREEN Solar Herzogenrath GmbH and Siemens Energy has now marked an important milestone in achieving this goal. Based on this agreement, the partners will develop an economically viable concept aimed at seeking available funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the federal German government, and the EU for the long-standing mining region between Aachen, Germany, and the Netherlands.

- Siemens Energy launches "Future of Storage" initiative to
promote sustainable energy systems
- Ecosystem of technology partners for energy storage solutions
created
- Long-term cooperation with Norwegian EnergyNest on thermal energy
storage
Siemens Energy has launched the "Future
of Storage" initiative. The aim of the initiative is to bundle knowledge
and build an ecosystem of technology partners in order to offer energy storage
solutions tailored to customers' needs. Decarbonizing the world's energy
systems is one of the key goals of Siemens Energy. An essential component of
climate-friendly energy systems of the future will be efficient energy storage
systems - they compensate for the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energies and
stabilize the grids, making them a key driver of decarbonization.
- Siemens will upgrade control and protection system of Moyle Interconnector
- Refurbishment increases security of supply, improves integration of renewable energy and enhances provision of ancillary services
Siemens Gas and Power (Siemens Energy) has been awarded the project to refurbish the Moyle Interconnector, a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Ballycronan More in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and Auchencrosh, Scotland. Owned and operated by Mutual Energy, the Moyle Interconnector control and protection system is almost 20 years old and is being modernized to enhance its operation. The refurbishment of the 500-megawatt interconnector will increase the security and reliability of the power supply to consumers in the United Kingdom. The project to upgrade the technology originally installed by Siemens in 2001 is now underway and the refurbishment is scheduled to be completed in September 2022.
- Siemens Energy delivers another highly efficient combined cycle power plant to Marl
- Evonik replaces old backup gas power plant
- Siemens Financial Services arranges customized financing
Siemens Energy is building
another highly efficient combined cycle power plant for the specialty chemical
company Evonik at its largest industrial location in Marl, North
Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Consisting of one SGT-800 gas turbine, one SST-400
steam turbine, and two generators, the plant will produce power and heat with
90 megawatts of electrical capacity and 220 megawatts of thermal capacity. It
will go into operation in 2022 replacing a backup gas power plant. Along with
the power plant components, Siemens Energy is also supplying the SPPA-T3000
control system for controlling the cutting-edge plant. A long-term service
agreement between Siemens Energy and Evonik will ensure the availability of the
power plant and its components.
Siemens Gas and Power has entered into an
agreement with Total, a broad energy group, to advance new concepts for green liquified
natural gas (LNG) production. As part of the contract, Siemens Gas and Power is
conducting studies to explore a variety of possible
liquefaction and power generation plant designs, with the ultimate goal of decarbonizing
the production of LNG.
