- Re-powering of Cooperative Energy's R.D. Morrow, Sr. Generating Station in Purvis, Mississippi
- Third order for new Siemens HL-class gas turbine
- Higher efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions
- Long-term service contract included
Siemens has secured an order in the U.S. for the re-powering of Cooperative Energy's R.D. Morrow, Sr. Generating Station facility in Purvis, Mississippi. The customer will use Siemens' cutting-edge HL gas turbine technology to re-power the facility's existing coal-powered steam turbines. This is the third order that the company has received for its new HL-class gas turbine. The natural gas-fueled combined cycle power plant will have an installed capacity of approximately 550 megawatts and will supply reliable electricity to Cooperative Energy's Member cooperatives, which serve approximately 430,000 homes and businesses across the state.
- New initiative targeted to launch at Hannover Messe 2019
Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), McKinsey & Company, SAP, Siemens and TÜV SÜD today announced a collaboration to support companies, both big and small, scale the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies.
Siemens Canada, New Brunswick Power (NB Power) and Nova Scotia Power (NSP) agreed on conducting a joint project to develop and demonstrate smart grid technology to better manage the provinces´ electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The overall investment for the project amounts to $92.7 CAD million (€ 60.95 million). For a joint pilot project aimed at analyzing challenges and opportunities posed by Canada's energy transition, the three partners have been awarded $35.66 M CAD (€ 23.45 million) in federal funding. The partners will research and test in real-time how the grid of the future can optimize integration of renewables, ensure stability of the grid and manage decentralized distribution in order to better manage the provinces’ electricity, potentially reduce future electricity costs for consumers and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The pilot, officially called the Smart Grid Atlantic project, is being funded in part by the Government of Canada's Strategic Innovation Fund.
A Kamstrup-Siemens consortium will deliver a smart metering solution including 250,000 electricity meters, a remote reading system and a data management system to the Irish energy company ESB Networks. The project is planned for execution during 2019-2020.
