- 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.

- 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.
