        Innovative Power Plant Solutions

        Individual power plants that create value

        As energy consumption will continue to increase in the years to come, efficient power generation will be a vital component to reliable, eco-friendly energy systems. Fluctuations are more frequently and at shorter intervals. Energy markets around the world are demanding more and more from their participants – whether that be responding flexibly to fluctuations, observing increasingly stringent emission limits, supplying power at lower and lower costs, or ensuring supply under adverse conditions. Anyone looking to stay ahead of the game needs more than an “off-the-shelf” power plant.   You need an individual power plant solution aligned with your objectives? Whether it’s a small, integrated system or a heavy-duty power plant, a purely gas-fired simple cycle or a combined cycle power plant, we’ll collaborate closely with you to find and construct a solution optimized specifically for you.

        Find out more about the success story
        Experience and expertise in power plant construction

        Power of innovation built on tradition

        Our ideas grow from experience: In 1866, Werner von Siemens developed the first electric generator, and Siemens built the first power plant in 1885. This spirit of invention is what has driven our power business ever since. Since 1990, we’ve connected more than 225 turnkey power plants to the grid collectively supplying more than 126 GW of power. Each of them has been constructed with customized solutions to meet our customers’ individual challenges. In other words, we’ve always been involved in supplying electricity to industries, regions, and people all over the world. That’s what we mean by “Ingenuity for Life” in the power plant business.

        A truly integrated solution always comes from a single source

        We have the most extensive in-house technology portfolio on the market, which allows us to choose the most appropriate products to incorporate into your solution. That  allows you to benefit from our expertise as an OEM EPC and from the certainty of one-stop procurement – for every one of your projects.

        • From individual components like I&C to power islands and turnkey power plants
        • Simple cycle power plants, thermal power plants, and combined cycle power plants
        • From industrial power plants of about 20 MW to 2,000-MW heavy-duty power plants
        • For 50- and 60-Hz grids
        • Also available with combined heat and power (CHP) for maximum fuel utilization
        • Net plant efficiencies in excess of 61 percent
        • Extraordinarily reliable, low in emissions, and easy on resources

        Sustainability for your power plant project: EHS measures minimize the risks

        Health and safety are our top priority – for our own employees and those of our suppliers and partners. That’s why we work with management plans and assessments, and that’s why we train and test everyone involved. We regularly visit sites and evaluate the commitment of each individual participant, whether they’re in the office or at the construction site – with one clear goal: to keep people safe from harm. Our EHS (environment, health, and safety) measures significantly cut accident rates and downtime. And in the end, they pay off for your project: with a positive transfer of knowledge to your local team, faster completion, reduced non-conformance-costs (NCCs), and a good reputation.

        Safety for your investment: Quality in project management creates value

        We keep our promises. You’ll be impressed by our project processing, with both downtime and implementation time kept to a minimum. Our performance in this area has won numerous awards. Our excellent process knowledge and global engineering network ensure the best of solutions, starting from the initial concept. Our regional teams, who know your local markets and speak your language, will create a solution on-site that will secure your long-term success. You can manage your technical documentation efficiently with DocuPilot4PG. Thanks to modern cloud technology and intuitive search functions, we enable you to find precisely what you need from a multitude of documents.

        Pace for your business: Siemens Solution Blocks reduce construction time

        We pre-fabricate large power plant modules. After all, working in a controlled environment offers many advantages compared with assembly at the construction site: security during installation, time savings, more effective planning of construction progress, greater flexibility, and less time spent on coordination and communication at the construction site. Pre-fabrication reduces construction risk by eliminating weather dependence and dependence on locally available labor for much of the construction.  It also improves safety, reducing the number of crane lifts and the amount of work done above grade. Siemens Solution Blocks are the highest standard of modern power plant construction.
