Siemens Completes Dubai Power Plant Work in 29 Days

Siemens, a global technology powerhouse, said it has achieved a major milestone by completing the extensive service works of the gas turbines at Jebel Ali K-station, Dubai, in a record time of only 29 working days. It is a notable accomplishment for a project of this scale, said the company in a statement, Trade Arabia reported. As part of the deal, Siemens provided supervisory services for three of the gas turbines at Jebel Ali K-station to enable further efficient and reliable operation for approximately 100,000 hours—equivalent to about 15 years. The power plant is owned by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) and has been in operation since 2002. The upgrades have now increased power output by 62.6 megawatts and improved power plant efficiency by about 0.5%, said the statement from Siemens.
