"These orders mark another major success for Siemens in Argentina," explains José Aparicio, Vice President for the Sales Region Latin America in Siemens' Power and Gas Division. "This is the first time we have sold a turnkey industrial power plant equipped with aeroderivative gas turbines, as well as long-term service. What's more, these four power plants will help to alleviate the power shortages in Argentina and increase the security of power supplies".
Siemens has also signed long-term service agreements for the four sites. These contracts include operation maintenance (OM) and long-term agreements for each location for a period of ten years and include operation and maintenance staff, remote monitoring, 24/7 helpdesk, overhauls, spare parts for stock and reliability guarantees. Siemens service and maintenance is centered on the company's Digital Services for Energy portfolio, combining advanced data analytics with Siemens' proven expertise to help customers fully realize the full potential of their power assets for improved reliability and profitability.
With an electrical generating capacity of 127 MW, the plant in Luján will be fitted with two SGT-A65 TR gas turbines and with two SGen5-100A-series electrical generators. The four model SGT-A65 TR turbines destined for the power plant in Matheu will provide a total electrical generating capacity of 254 megawatts (MW). The Las Palmas site will be equipped with four SGT-800 gas turbines with an electrical generating capacity of 202 MW. The other two SGT-800 gas turbines destined for the power plant in San Pedro will generate a total electrical output of 104 MW; commissioning for the four sites is scheduled for the end of 2017. All the sites have the option to be retrofitted as combined cycle power plants in the near future. The SGT-A65 TR gas turbines are being manufactured as fast-track units at Siemens' production locations in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in the United States, and in Montreal, Canada. The corresponding generators will be provided by the Siemens' manufacturing facility in Erfurt, Germany. The SGT-800 gas turbines will be manufactured in Finspang, Sweden.
