- Lansing Board of Water & Light to purchase three advanced gas
turbines and generators to provide low-cost, efficient power in
Lansing, Michigan
- SGT-800 units provide flexibility with full ramp-up capabilities in
10 minutes to quickly meet peak power demand
WASHINGTON -- (Business Wire)
Siemens has received an order from Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL)
to supply three SGT-800 gas turbines and generators for their new
gas-fired generating station in Lansing, Michigan. The new plant will
feature three SGT-800s, two operating in combined cycle and one simple
cycle, that provides highly efficient base load power and operational
flexibility. This configuration will be capable of producing
approximately 250 MWs and provide reliable electricity to 250,000 homes
throughout the Greater Lansing area. The new Siemens technology will
help to reduce carbon emissions at the site.
With more than 350 units sold worldwide, six million operating hours,
and an overall fleet reliability of 99.5 percent, these highly flexible
gas turbines can produce power in less than ten minutes to provide a
proven, reliable, and flexible solution for municipalities, utilities,
and other industrial customers. Siemens will also supply its SPPA-T3000
digital control system, which helps effectively and efficiently control
all functions within the plant.
The gas turbine packages will be manufactured in Finspang, Sweden.
Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for spring 2021.
“Siemens’ highly efficient and reliable SGT-800 met BWL’s exact need,”
said John Gibson, Head of Sales North America, Siemens. “Utilizing
cleaner-burning and affordable natural gas, this fuel-efficient facility
will deliver reliable power while also helping to reduce emissions.”
