Tyr Energy has chosen Siemens as technology partner for the Hickory Run Energy Centre, a new 1000 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant to be built by Kiewit Power Constructors Co in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. The facility will include Siemens’ H-class technology in a facility designed for fast and flexible operation to support renewable integration. Siemens Financial Services is providing an equity investment, and will own 20 per cent of the project alongside Tyr Energy and Kansai Electric Power Co.

The Hickory Run Energy Centre is scheduled to start operation in spring 2020. In addition, Siemens has signed a long-term service agreement to help ensure the reliability, availability, and operational performance of the units. The service will include Siemens’ advanced remote monitoring and diagnostics.

Siemens will deliver two H-class turbines, one steam turbine, and three generators. The gas turbines and steam turbine will be manufactured at Siemens’ Charlotte Energy Hub, which is the main production facility for Siemens’ 60 Hz power generation.
