The buyer of ‘power island solution’ is CTEC, a provider of energy-efficient solutions headquartered in Perth, which buys the solution on behalf of the end customer Diamantina Power Station Pty Limited, a joint venture between APA Group and AGL Energy Ltd.
The Diamantina combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant will be built on a brown field site, adjacent to the existing Mica Creek station. The first block of the Diamantina CCGT is scheduled to be available for full commercial operations in late 2013 and the second block available in early 2014, Siemens Energy said.
The Siemens Energy’s scope of supply encompasses two power islands each comprising one SST-400 steam turbine, two SGT-800 gas turbines and two heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG). Siemens will sign responsible for the overall plant design and will also provide technical advisory services during the construction and commissioning phases of the project.
Markus Tacke, chief executive of Siemens Energy’ s Industrial Power Business Unit said of the company’s high-efficiency gas and steam turbines would “help to minimize the environmental impact of industrial power generation”.
High-efficiency combined cycle power plants are part of Siemens’ Environmental Portfolio. Revenue from the portfolio totalled about €30 billion in the fiscal year of 2011.
