German energy company Siemens Energy has agreed to provide a total of four H-class combined-cycle power units for power facilities in China’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
The company signed separate agreements with Guangdong Energy Group and Shenzhen Energy Group
Once completed, these upgraded power plants will help cater to increasing power demand in the GBA, which has a population of more than 70 million people.
Under the agreement with Guangdong Energy, Siemens Energy will provide a 675MW combined-cycle power generation unit and long-term maintenance services for the Guangzhou power facility, which is owned by Guangdong Yuehua Power.
The present coal-fired power plant will be converted into a more efficient gas-fired plant that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60%.
Expected to come online in the middle of next year, the facility will produce 2.3 billion kilowatt-hours of power a year.
