Under the contract, Siemens will supply two SGT-800 gas turbines and one SST-400 steam turbine for the power plant.
Capable of generating approximately 125MW in summer and 145MW in winter, the power plant is being built by the local municipal utility, Holland Board of Public Works (HBPW), aimed at replacing a coal-fired plant.
Scheduled to be commissioned in fall 2015, the power plant will be built in the City of Holland, which is located in the western region of the Lower Peninsula of the US state of Michigan.
Siemens will also be responsible for a long-term service contract for the SGT-800 gas turbines.
Siemens Power and Gas Division Distributed Generation business unit head Wolfgang Konrad said: "This new combined cycle plant makes a two-fold contribution to environmental protection.
"On the one hand it replaces a coal-fired plant, which halves the CO2 emissions, and, on the other, it helps do away with the need for salt and grit in the winter."
The combined cycle power plant will feature cogeneration capabilities in order to provide an extremely high fuel efficiency level.
HBPW business service director Daniel Nally said: "We plan to make the plant accessible to the public at large to foster further interest in the city’s goal of implementing a socially, economically and environmentally responsible solution for supplying power into the 21st century."
