Siemens has received an order to supply the power block and other main components for the new combined-cycle power plant (CCPP) in Singapore. As part of the largest seawater desalination facility Tuaspring in Singapore, the plant will deliver around 411 megawatts (MW) of environmentally friendly electricity. Tuaspring is scheduled to go online in 2014. Purchaser is Hydrochem (S) Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of Hyflux Ltd.
Siemens Energy has been awarded several contracts for the supply of topside solutions including power generation, water injection and power distribution packages for a Brazilian FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading) project. Purchaser for the power generators and power distribution systems is Singapore-based Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. and Wasco through its subsidiary Gas Services International Pte Ltd for the water injection package. The FPSO is scheduled to start operation in early summer 2012 and will produce from the Tiro and Sidon fields located in the south Santos basin off the coast of Brazil.
The much delayed Island Power gas-fired combined cycle project on Jurong Island has finally taken off. Siemens and Samsung, the consortium of Island Power’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, officially took over the site from Island Power on April 22. Site work will commence in earnest
