Project description

INP assisted Siemens AG with the construction of three CCPP in Egypt. Each of the three power plants is powered by eight SGT5-8000 H-class gas turbines, 4 steam turbines, 12 generators, 8 Siemens heat recovery steam generators, 12 transformers as well as a 500-kilovolt gas-insulated switchgear. To improve the resilience of Egypt’s power grid, six substations that will transmit electricity generated by the new power plants were successfully energized. The three plants located in Beni Suef, Burullus and New Capital generate power with a total net efficiency of over 61 %. The construction of all three power plants only took about 27.5 months.
