Siemens Energy has won a contract for the supply and long-term service of the planned 900 MW Cascade Power Plant in Alberta, Canada. The project supports the decarbonisation of Alberta’s power supply by switching from coal to natural gas. Once operational, the power plant is expected to reduce Alberta’s carbon emissions from energy production by up to five per cent.

Siemens Energy won the order from Kineticor , with the end user being the Cascade Power Project Limited Partnership. The order value is in excess of €330 million. The plant is expected to begin operating in 2023. The plant will be located near Edson, Alberta, and will supply over 8 per cent of the province’s average electricity demand.

Siemens Energy will provide two SGT6-8000H gas turbines in single-shaft combined cycle configuration, steam turbines and HRSGs, as well as long-term services.
