25 March 2008 - Siemens has opened the 830 MW natural gas fired Manuel Belgrano (TMB) thermo plant in Campana, Buenos Aires province.

The plant began operations with the first 270 MW natural gas turbine. A second will come online in May 2008.

The plant will begin combined cycle operations at the beginning of 2009, when the plant will reach its full capacity of 830 MW.

TMB also can burn liquid fuels when natural gas is not available, according to the statement. Siemens is supplying the two SGT5-4000F natural gas turbines in addition to a steam SST-5000 turbine. The multinational also will provide maintenance to the plant for ten years.

A consortium made up of Argentine firms Duro Felguera and Electroingeniería constructed the plant. The plant is the first of its size to come online in Argentina since 2001, according to the statement.
