Siemens receives follow-up order for H-class gas turbines in Mexico

Erlangen, 2016-Jan-13

  • Siemens to supply key components for Empalme II combined cycle plant
  • Six H-class gas turbines ordered by Mexico since spring 2015

Siemens has received an order to supply two SGT6-8000H gas turbines and two SGen6-2000H generators for the Empalme II combined cycle power plant in Sonora, Mexico. The plant will have an installed electrical capacity of 791 megawatts (MW). The customer is a consortium consisting of the Spanish engineering and construction companies Duro Felguera and Elecnor and the Mexican subsidiary Elecnor Mexico. The operator of the plant will be the state-owned power provider Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). Commercial operation is scheduled for April 2018. Additionally, #siemens will provide technical assistance during construction and commissioning of the plant. Since the spring of 2015, #siemens has received orders for six H-class gas turbines from Mexico.

"CFE is becoming a pioneer in the integration of environmentally-compatible and resource-saving power generation solutions in Latin America. With these steps, Mexico will become an #energy hub in the region and a reference for other similar projects", declared José Aparicio, Vice President of the #siemens Power and Gas Division for Latin America.

A total of six model SGT6-8000H gas turbines are to be installed in the Empalme I (770 MW), Empalme II (791 MW) and Valle de México II (615 MW) combined cycle power plants. #siemens is also supplying two SGT6-5000F gas turbines for the Tula plant located in Hidalgo, Mexico. These four power plants have a combined electrical capacity of 2,727 MW, enough to supply one million households in Mexico with electricity. #siemens has sold 76 H-class gas turbines worldwide to date. The SGT-8000H fleet, with 16 units currently in successful commercial operation, has already achieved more than 195,000 fired hours.
