Serving society in several ways: The Egypt Megaproject
Over the last few decades, the population of Egypt has doubled to reach approximately 100 million people. With efforts to extend electrification, Egypt’s energy infrastructure had been under strain – with the effects felt by both industry and private residents.
Provision of three combined-cycle power plants with 4.8 GW each and eight 500kV gas-insulated switchgear substations
Professional training for 6,000 Egyptian engineers
23,275 jobs (direct and indirect) created locally
Emission and costs savings, due to top efficiency levels of 61 percent
Electricity for 40 million Egyptians
Development of an environmental and social action plan
More energy sovereignty for Bolivia
Siemens Energy and Bolivia are carrying out an ambitious project to increase the country's power generating capacity, provide a stable power supply to the local population and its developing economy, and export electricity throughout South America.
Conversion of three simple-cycle plants into three combined-cycle, increasing the power generation capacity by 1 GW
Increase in the current energy system capacity by 50 percent laying the groundwork for future electricity exports (after 2025)
New energy service and training center expected to employ approximately 130 people
Professional training for 40 Bolivian technicians every two years
Fast power solution lights up homes in northern Afghanistan
After decades of conflict, electricity is a scarce commodity in Afghanistan. Approximately 90% of the population has an unstable or no access to electricity. Although the country has sufficient reserves of gas, 75% of consumed electricity is imported from other countries.
Mobile gas turbine unit providing up to 41 MW of power generation (200 MW in the final phase)
A step toward long-term energy independence using domestic gas reserves
Power for approximately 200,000 households
Driver for stabilization, economic growth, job creation, and pacification in the region
A electrification roadmap
What´s the vision behind the roadmap? 40 million Iraqis living in vibrant cities, powered by reliable and efficient energy; a robust industrial sector and sustainable economic development.
Provision of gas turbines, substations, and generators
Electricity for 2.9 million Iraqis now, and 40 million Iraqis in the future
Clinic for now 4223 patients a year, and 15,000 patients in the future. Donation of all medical and power equipment
Increase in power capacity by 791 MW by 2020, and by 11 GW in the future
Future vocational education and training for 1,000 Iraqis
Harvesting Morocco’s solar power potential
Morocco´s population is growing, prosperity is increasing, companies are relocating, and rural areas are being connected to the power grid. Energy demand, especially for electricity, is growing, and the country is dependent on fossil energy imports. Time to use the sun as a filling station!
Conversion of a coal generation station into a ~550MW natural gas combined-cycle power plant
Significant emission savings: a modern combined-cycle power plant reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 70% (compared to coal)
Providing low-cost, reliable and low-emission electricity
Connecting households to offshore wind power
By 2025, 40-45% of electricity consumed in Germany should be derived from renewables. The grid connection for offshore wind is helping to achieve Germany´s renewable energy target.
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grid connection for offshore wind power transmission to the mainland, with 900 MW transmission capacity
900 MW transmission capacity providing wind power to 1 million homes
Complete project comprises of six grid connections with a total of 4.7 GW transmission capacity, providing renewable power to approximately 5.9 million households (project completion 2023)
Low loss transmission with less than 4% losses
A step towards CO₂-neutral energy supply in Berlin
Berlin is the first German federal state to complete the phase-out of coal by 2030 and use only low-CO₂ energy sources for all new construction projects. Berlin plans to become CO₂ neutral by 2050.
