Siemens wins order for four industrial power plants

28 April 2017


Siemens has secured orders to supply a total of four turnkey industrial power plants in Argentina. Six SGT-A65 TR (former Industrial Trent 60) gas turbines will form the heart of two plants in the cities of Luján and Matheu in Buenos Aires Province in eastern Argentina. Siemens has also been awarded a contract to supply six industrial gas turbines of type SGT-800 for two power plants in Las Palmas and San Pedro in the cities of San Pedro and Zarate. Siemens’ customers are the two Canadian private equity companies Stoneway Capital and Araucaria Energy. They will operate the plants as independent power producers. The total order volume for Siemens is approximately $570 million. Siemens has also committed a $115 million loan to support the power plants’ construction.
Siemens has also signed long-term service agreements for the four sites. With an electrical generating capacity of 127 MW, the plant in Luján will be fitted with two SGT-A65 TR gas turbines and with two SGen5-100A-series electrical generators. The four model SGT-A65 TR turbines destined for the power plant in Matheu will provide a total electrical generating capacity of 254 MW. The Las Palmas site will be equipped with four SGT-800 gas turbines with an electrical generating capacity of 202 MW. The other two SGT-800 gas turbines destined for the power plant in San Pedro will generate a total electrical output of 104 MW; commissioning for the four sites is scheduled for the end of 2017. All the sites have the option to be retrofitted as combined cycle power plants in the near future.
