The power plant, to be built in the city of Plovdiv, is scheduled to start supplying approximately 50MW of electricity and as much as 55MW of district heat in late 2011.
For the power plant, Siemens will supply an SGT-700 gas turbine, an SST-300 steam turbine, a heat-recovery steam generator with supplementary firing and other auxiliary systems. With the plant operating in combined cycle duty the turbines will cogenerate both power and district heat.
Siemens is also responsible for design of the plant, commissioning and civil works. The order also includes a long-term service agreement.
Markus Tacke, CEO of Industrial Power Business Unit at Siemens Energy, said: “In the future our power plant will supply power and heat to Plovdiv. At the same time the up to 90% total efficiency attained by the cogeneration plant will also make a significant contribution toward operating economy and environmental protection.”
