Siemens Wins $75M Jordan Power Projects, Boosting Grid Capacity
Siemens has secured two significant orders worth approximately 75 million from Metka S.A. for power generation equipment in Jordan. The projects involve the design, delivery, and supervision of the installation of a GT13E2 gas turbine for a new unit in fast-track mode, and the increase of an existing 285 MW Samra III simple cycle plant's capacity by 143 MW using steam-tail add-on technology.
The GT13E2 gas turbine, renowned for its efficiency and reliability, will add 146 MW to the Jordanian grid, with scheduled completion in June 2013. This turbine is well-suited to the region's harsh climatic conditions and is widely used in the Middle East and North Africa. In a separate project, Siemens will convert the existing 285 MW Samra III unit power plant into a combined cycle power plant using steam-tail retrofit technology, increasing its capacity to 428 MW and achieving commercial operation in 2015.
Siemens received the order in 2015 to supply the GT13E2 steam turbine and Steam Tail retrofit technology for the Samra III plant conversion.
These projects demonstrate Siemens' commitment to enhancing Jordan's power infrastructure. The GT13E2 gas turbine's proven performance in the region ensures reliable and efficient power generation, while the Samra III plant's capacity increase will meet the growing demand for electricity.
