Siemens steam turbines to serve Jordanian project

Siemens will supply the key components for the Attarat steam power plant in Jordan. The customer China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Power Engineering Co. Ltd. will be the contractor and operator. Siemens’ scope of supply comprises two SST5-5000 steam turbines, two air-cooled SGen5-1200A generators, and the turbine control system. The condenser is air cooled to address the lack of water at the site. This can be seen as a global trend for dry areas where water is mainly used for households.

The power plant will start operation in mid-2020 and will feed up to 470 MW to Jordan’s power grid.
