Press Release26 March 2019Siemens AGBeijing and Munich
SIEMENS and State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) agree on comprehensive cooperation
The picture shows the signing of the Strategic Partnership Framework Agreement.
"With this agreement, both parties are set to benefit from the expected structural growth in China's electricity generation market," said Joe Kaeser, President and CEO of Siemens AG. "This agreement marks a further important milestone following our successful technology collaborations with Chinese enterprises over the last decades. The objective of both parties is to form a longstanding partnership extending beyond the scope of the agreements announced today," Kaeser added.
The previously signed agreement for technology collaboration in the field of heavy duty gas turbines between UGTC and Siemens follows the Memorandum of Understanding with SPIC, the majority shareholder of UGTC, which was already announced in July 2018. UGTC will complete the goal of developing China's indigenous generation of heavy-duty gas turbines independently. Under the terms of the agreement, Siemens will support UGTC's heavy-duty gas turbine program with its technical experience in the design, engineering and testing. The goal of both agreements is to establish a long-standing win-win partnership for both parties.
Electricity demand in China is continuing to grow and the government is determined to improve air quality by switching from coal to natural gas in its energy mix. Against this background China is already one of the world's most important markets for gas turbines and its importance will even grow further in the years to come.
