Company Portrait

We are one of the world’s leading suppliers of components and systems to companies in the energy and electricity industry. With roughly 40,500 employees, PG had sales of over EUR 12 billion and received new orders for approximately EUR 18 billion in fiscal 2007 (October 1 – September 30).

Modern turbomachinery equipment and power plant technology must deliver low costs, high flexibility, absolute safety, and excellent compatibility with the environment and the climate. Backed by proven technology and many years of experience and innovative ideas, we support our customers in successfully meeting all of these requirements. With our global network, we have a presence in nearly all regions of the world, and roughly one-fifth of installed power plant capacity worldwide is from Siemens Power Generation.

Ensuring a sustainable supply of energy that will remain viable into the future requires a balanced mix of technologies based on all energy sources. Siemens Power Generation is optimally prepared for this challenge with a comprehensive portfolio of advanced technology for power and heat generation as well as solutions for the oil and gas industry.

In addition to highly efficient fossil fuel-fired turbomachinery (gas and steam turbines), generators and power plants, we also develop wind energy plants for both onshore and offshore installation. Our offerings include individualized planning and consulting, turnkey plant construction, maintenance, and everything our customers need to operate a power plant throughout its entire life cycle. Whether for a modernization of a plant or for monitoring and reducing emissions of pollutants in fossil fuel-fired power plants, our comprehensive service offerings are always based on state-of-the-art plant diagnostics and systems technology.

We also develop coal-fired power plants with CO₂ capture. Here our activities are focused on steam power plants with post-combustion CO₂ scrubbing and capture for existing and new plants, as well as on integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants. These are combined cycle power plants with integrated coal gasification and pre-combustion CO₂ capture. Our IGCC plants rely on our especially reliable and proven entrained flow technology, which is very well suited for producing synthetic fuels or chemicals.

We are also the only power plant manufacturer to supply control technology for all plant types. We are active in the nuclear and hydroelectric market segments through our minority holding in AREVA NP and Voith Siemens Hydro, and we’re also a leader in the development of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). For our customers in the oil and gas industry, we offer a comprehensive portfolio from a single source, including solutions with industrial gas and steam turbines, complete compressor trains as well as extensive services.
