US-based independent power producer InterGen has placed an order with Siemens for the turnkey construction of a new combined cycle power plant in the Netherlands.
The 430 MW Rijnmond II power plant will be operational by mid-2010. Siemens’ EUR 320 million order includes a 12-year long-term service agreement.
Rijnmond II is the third order for a combined cycle power plant for the Dutch market received by Siemens since 2000. Earlier in January, Alstom announced that it had received an order to construct an 870 MW combined cycle plant in Lelystad, central Holland.
Siemens will build the new plant at the Vondelingenplaat industrial and port facility, approximately 3 km south of Rotterdam. The scope of supply encompasses an SGT5-4000F gas turbine, a water-cooled generator, a steam turbine, and the entire electrical and I&C equipment.
Under a EUR 400 million order from Dutch utility Electrabel Nederland, Alstom will build the Flevocentrale plant, which will be the first GT-26 based combined cycle power plant in the country.
In 2003, Siemens supplied key components for the Rijnmond I plant. In early 2007, it secured the contract for the Sloecentrale combined cycle power plant in Vlissingen Ost.
