These new power units replace three oil-fired plants on Jurong Island in southwest Singapore.
The combined-cycle units are configured for co-generation, supplying both power to the grid and process steam to the neighboring refinery owned by Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore.
Siemens built the turnkey 800MW power plant together with its consortium partner Samsung C&T Korea.
Siemens Fossil Power Generation Division CEO of energy solutions Rainer Hauenschild said that these high-efficiency co-generation units will play a major part in meeting Singapore’s increasing energy requirements in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner.
