Siemens Energy is to build a combined cycle power plant on a turnkey basis in Ostiglia in Lombardy.
The plant – designed as a multi-shaft unit with the gas and steam turbines each driving their own generator – will make a significant contribution to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Italy and balance fluctuating feed-in from renewables like wind and solar power plants to the grid.
The project is being executed in a consortium with Italian engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies Fata and Demont. The utility EP Produzione is owner and operator.
The power plant will use the HL-class gas turbine technology from Siemens Energy, which enables maximum utilisation of natural gas and is designed to be fired with up to 30% hydrogen in addition to natural gas in future.
