- Moray East project has a capacity of 950 MW representing Siemens' largest UK grid access project to date
- Siemens to deliver onshore substation and three offshore transformer modules (OTM®)
- After commissioning Moray East will provide enough clean energy to power almost one million UK homes
Siemens has been awarded an order to connect the Moray East offshore wind farm to the grid. Moray East is being developed by a joint venture company owned by EDP Renewables, a subsidiary of the Portuguese utility Energias de Portugal, ENGIE, a global energy and services group based in Paris, and Diamond Generation Europe Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation. The Siemens' scope of supply covers all necessary components, such as the offshore transformer modules (OTM®) which transform the output of the wind turbines from 66 kilovolts (kV) to the transmission voltage of 220 kV, as well as the onshore station which transforms the electricity into 275 kV for feeding it into the national transmission grid. This project will be the 11th offshore wind farm to be connected to the mainland by Siemens in the UK. Moreover, Moray East marks the largest offshore grid connection in terms of transmission capacity and order entry Siemens has delivered or been awarded in the UK to date.

- Siemens Mobility begins extensive test program
- DB Regio to operate the Rhine Valley network as of 2020
- Profitable over the entire lifecycle with enhanced passenger comfort
The first trainset of the new Mireo regional train platform has been completed. In the coming months, a total of eight pre-production trains will be commissioned at the company's Test and Validation Center (PCW) in Wegberg-Wildenrath. Before the train is allowed to operate for the first time in Germany's rail network, an extensive test program must be completed at the PCW. In June 2020, the Mireo is scheduled to begin service in the Rhine Valley network in Southwest Germany that is operated by the DB Regio Regional Business Unit of Deutsche Bahn. DB Regio AG has ordered a total of 24 Mireo trains, the first order Siemens Mobility received for the newly developed platform.
- Hybrid power plant solution with integrated battery energy storage
- Power supply with a capacity of 145 megawatts
- Scheduled to start operation in Santo Domingo in spring 2021

- Improved accuracy and repeatability
- Increased asset utilization and decreased operational waste
- Wide range of applications in environmental, chemical, and food and beverage industries
- Hart 7 communications
Siemens presents Sitrans Probe LU240, its newest ultrasonic level measurement Hart transmitter, a hardworking and rugged device that provides reliable level, volume, and flow measurements. Engineered for the challenges of the environmental industry, this transmitter is also suited for the chemical and food and beverage applications. Field-proven Process Intelligence echo processing separates true material level echoes from false, providing reliable readings while still allowing rapid response to actual changes in the material level. The device's reduced blanking distance decreases waste in applications while boosting asset utilization by providing continuously accurate readings even with high levels of material.
- Trafikverket awards 75 million Euro contract
- Siemens Mobility, with Eltel Networks Infranet, to deliver intelligent infrastructure technology
- Communications, control and monitoring systems for tunneling
The Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, has announced that it awarded Siemens Mobility a 75 million Euro contract to deliver communications, control and monitoring technologies for a section of the European route number four (E4), the Stockholm Bypass. The new bypass will connect the southern and northern parts of the surrounding Stockholm communities. The bypass is a 21-kilometer road, including 18 kilometers of tunneling around one of Europe's busiest capitals. It will relieve intercity and main thoroughfare congestion, significantly reducing delays for residents and visitors. The construction of the tunnel started in 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2026. Installation and testing of Siemens Mobility technologies will begin in 2021.
- Nemo Link is the first transmission link between the two countries
- It enables transmission of 1,000 MW electricity using Siemens HVDC Plus technology
- Siemens built converter stations housing the state of the art HVDC equipment in both Herdersbrug (Belgium) and Richborough (UK)
- Official opening ceremony on December 5 in Herdersbrug with Belgian and UK dignitaries
Nemo Link® interconnector is a joint venture between the Transmission System Operators Elia (Belgium) and National Grid (UK), to exchange electricity up to 1,000 MW between the two countries, using high voltage direct current (HVDC) technology. Nemo Link connects the Belgian and the British power grid with a combination of subsea and underground cables. This new 140 kilometers (km) long HVDC interconnection increases security of supply for both countries, allowing the import and export of electricity, as well as supporting the integration of renewable energy in the grid. The European Commission designated it a Project of Common Interest as it contributes to an integrated European energy market.
