- New innovation hub for research at Siemens in Garching, Germany
- Joint research facility with Technical University of Munich in Garching’s “Isar Valley”
- Modern and open work environments in a digitally planned, sustainable building
Just nine months after construction began, a
topping-out ceremony is being celebrated for the new Siemens Technology Center
at the research campus in the university town of Garching, Germany, near
Munich. As a result, this new building – which was planned digitally and is
being built to meet stringent sustainability requirements – has thus now
reached an important milestone on the journey to Siemens’ future research activities in the
Munich area. With its modern work environments, this facility will serve as an
innovation hub that provides space for inspiration and new ideas. At this center,
more than 450 researchers from Siemens’ “Technology” unit will collaborate on
technologies of the future with around 150 employees and students from the
Technical University of Munich (TUM).
- 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.
- Siemens Energy Corporate Center in Berlin
- Joint location and structural concept planned with the State of Berlin
- Company's administrative
headquarters remain in Bavaria
Siemens Energy, as a stand-alone company,
will locate its Corporate Center in Berlin. The energy technology company with
worldwide 91,000 employees, which in 2019 generated revenue of €28.8 billion,
is thus returning to its roots: Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske
founded their company in Berlin in 1847 and with the discovery of the
electrodynamic principle in 1866 laid a foundation for today's Siemens Group
and therefore today's Siemens Energy.
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.
- Largest private cogeneration project to date for Siemens in Mexico
Siemens has received an order to supply an
H-class gas turbine, one SST-800 steam turbine and two associated generators as
well as four switchgear units for the Altamira combined cycle cogeneration
power plant in Mexico. The entire power plant will have an electrical capacity
of around 350 megawatts (MW) and will also provide process steam, making this
the largest private cogeneration project to date for Siemens in this country.
In total, Siemens has now received orders for sevenH-class gas turbines from Mexico, including this order. Siemens’ customer is
the Mexican company Avanzia Instalaciones. The end customer is Alpek S.A.B. de
C.V., a subsidiary of Grupo Alfa, S.A. de C.V. Commissioning of the overall
facility is scheduled for end of 2018.
Within a period of just a few weeks, Siemens
has received orders from customers in Great Britain and the United States for a
total of nine compact steam turbines. The turbines are to be manufactured at
Siemens' production site in Frankenthal, Germany. Three SST-040 turbines have
been ordered by the Dutch energy provider Kara Energy Systems B.V. for biomass
power plants in Great Britain, while the U.S.-based company Airclean Energy in
Seattle, Washington, has placed an order for six SST-110 compact steam turbines.
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 ShanxiProvincial
Guoxin Energy Development Group Co., Ltd.. Commercial
operation of the plants is scheduled for July 2017.
