en.Wedoany.com Reported - Siemens Energy will supply gas turbines and steam turbines for the Taweelah C Independent Power Project (IPP) in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The project is equipped with 3 gas turbines, 2 steam turbines, 5 generators, and auxiliary systems for the combined cycle power plant, with a total installed capacity of 2.6 GW. This is the third power plant within the same facility to utilize Siemens Energy equipment.

Once operational, the new power plant will serve as a flexible regulating power source for the Abu Dhabi power system, enhancing grid stability and facilitating the integration and consumption of large-scale renewable energy. The plant's design includes provisions for deploying carbon capture and storage facilities to support the UAE's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

The project is developed by an international consortium comprising Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), Saudi Arabia's Al Jomaih Energy & Water Company, and Singapore's Sembcorp Industries. A consortium led by China Energy Engineering International Construction Group Co., Ltd., China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd., and China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Huo Power Engineering Co., Ltd. serves as the general contractor, responsible for the plant's engineering, procurement, and construction. All electricity generated by the plant will be purchased by the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC).

Karim Amin, Member of the Global Executive Committee of Siemens Energy, stated that the global energy system is facing continuously growing demand while needing to balance reliability and flexibility, highlighting the increasingly prominent supporting role of dispatchable gas-fired power generation. Siemens Energy supports the Taweelah C project with its technical expertise and capabilities, and will supply the first HL-class gas turbine to the UAE. This project builds on a long-term partnership, and Siemens Energy will continue to support the UAE's development vision through strategic collaboration.

The equipment for the new power plant will be manufactured using Siemens Energy's global production network. The SGT5-9000HL gas turbine and SST5-5000 steam turbine will be manufactured in Germany, in Berlin and Mülheim; the SGen5-3000W and SGen5-2000P generators will be manufactured at the Charlotte, USA, factory.
