Siemens Power Generation (PG) is constructing a turnkey combined cycle power plant in Irsching, in Bavaria, Germany. The order was placed by Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Irsching GmbH, a company jointly owned by power supply company E.ON Kraftwerke GmbH, Hanover, which holds a 60 percent stake, and the two multi-utility companies N-ERGIE AG, Nuremberg and Mainova AG, Frankfurt, which have 25 percent and 15 percent holdings respectively.
The order includes a long-term maintenance contract for the plant. The combined cycle power plant will have a capacity of 800 megawatts (MW), sufficient to provide a cost-effective and environmentally compatible power supply for a city the size of Cologne with nearly one million inhabitants. The order volume is approximately EUR450 million.
Siemens PG is building the new natural gas-fired power plant on the site of an existing power plant in Irsching near Ingolstadt. The company is supplying the gas and steam turbines, the generators, the complete mechanical engineering with heat recovery steam generator and the electrical and control systems. The “Irsching 5” plant is scheduled to go into service at the end of 2008.
