Siemens supplies gas turbines for peaking power plants in
Belarus
Siemens
industrial gas turbines will provide peaking power to help improve the
reliability and flexibility of the Belarusian power grid
Siemens will deliver the power generation equipment for two
new peaking power plants in the Republic of Belarus. The customer is the
state-owned utility company RUE Vitebskenergo. The new plants will be operated in
conjunction with the existing Lukomlskaya and Novopolotskaya power
plants in
the Vitebsk region in northern Belarus and will help ensure the
reliability and flexibility of the country’s power grid. The plants are expected to go into
operation in the end of 2021.

Five SGT-800 gas turbines from the Siemens factory in
Finspång (Sweden) will provide fast peaking power and enhance
the flexibility and reliability of the Belarusian power grid.
The open cycle gas turbine plants will operate in continuous
availability mode and are designed to go from cold to full load in less than 15
minutes. The plants are estimated to run approximately 700 hours per year. The
new plants will be used as a backup for future wind, solar and nuclear power
plants as well as for existing power plants, thus supporting the energy
transition in Belarus.

Siemens will provide five SGT-800 gas turbines, generators,
gas receiving stations, booster compressors, high-, medium-, and low-voltage equipment and the PCS7 control
system for the new 150-MW peaking power station at the Lukomlskaya plant and a
100-MW peaking power station at the Novopolotskaya plant.
