25 September 2007 - Siemens Power Generation (PG) is to construct a 2x430 MW power plant in Saint Avold in the Lorraine region for Endesa France, which when constructed will be France's largest combined cycle plant.
Endesa France's principal shareholder is the Spanish power company Endesa with a holding of 65 per cent. The contract is valued at approximately €360m ($507m), and the plant is scheduled to go into operation in early 2010.
Siemens PG is building the new natural gas-fired power plant at the existing power plant site Emile Huchet in Saint Avold in Lorraine, about twenty kilometers west of the French-German border near Saarbruecken.
The high-efficiency power plant will feature high cost-efficiency, flexibility, and environmental compatibility. The output is sufficient to supply as many as one million households in France with electricity.
Siemens PG's scope of supply encompasses two SGT5-4000F gas turbines, two steam turbines and two generators, as well as all mechanical equipment, electrical systems and equipment, and the SPPA-T3000 instrumentation and control (I&C) system.
"Saint-Avold is our second order this year for the construction of a new, turnkey combined cycle power plant in France," said Klaus Voges, Group President of Siemens Power Generation.
"With this order we have made a breakthrough in this important power plant market." With full deregulation of the French electricity market in July 2007, there is an increasing demand in France for combined cycle power plants to meet peak- and intermediate-load needs.
CMI Energy of Belgium will supply the horizontal boilers (HRSG's) triple pressure plus reheat. CMI Energy is the second worldwide supplier in boilers and has already an experience with Siemens in France with the supply of the same product.
