Siemens has signed an agreement with Sudan’s state-run energy provider the Sudanese Thermal Power Generating Company (STPGC) to deliver five SGT5-2000E gas turbines. These machines will deliver a combined generating capacity of 850 MW for the Sudanese national grid. All five units are scheduled to commence commercial operation at the end of 2017. In addition to the five E-class gas turbines, Siemens’ scope of supply also comprises five SGen5-100A generators, as well as Siemens’ SPPA-T3000 control systems. Siemens’ E-class gas turbines can fire heavy fuel oil and light diesel oil as well as natural gas.

Three of the machines are for Garri Power Station in Khartoum, and the remaining two units will generate power in Port Sudan on the country’s Red Sea coast.

All five units will initially be commissioned as simple-cycle gas-turbine power plants. However, it is planned to expand the units to combined cycle configuration in the future.

All five gas turbines are nearing ex-works shipment. Two of the machines were manufactured at Siemens’ Gas Turbine Manufacturing Plant in Berlin, and manufacture of the other three is being completed in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
