Siemens SI Energy received an order from Argentina for the turnkey construction
of the Guillermo Brown thermoelectric power plant. The order volume, including
power transmission, fuel supply solutions and a Full Service Maintenance
contract for 10 years, amounts to approximately USD 800 million. The customer
is Fideicomiso Central Termoelectrica Guillermo Brown S.A.
Besides the turnkey construction of the plant Siemens will deliver two F-Class
gas turbines and two generators. In addition, Siemens is also delivering the
infrastructure works at the port to offload fuel, high-voltage transmission
lines, switchyard, and fuel pipelines for the power plant. Commissioning is
scheduled for 2015. The new power plant will have an electrical generating
capacity of approximately 580 megawatts (MW).
In the past years, Siemens Energy has supplied several power plants in
Argentina, among them the Campana, Timbues, Brigadier Lopez and Ensenada
plants. Together, they have a generating capacity of about 3,000 MW of
electricity. The currently installed power plant capacity in Argentina of
approximately 30,000 MW is expected to increase strongly in the next decades.
About 50 percent of the plants will be gas-fueled.
