The turbine will be shipped to Mexico, La Caridad Combined Cycle Power Plant. The picture shows the Siemens gas turbine SGT6-5000F, the first gas turbine shipped from the state-of-the-art gas turbine manufacturing facility in Charlotte. Officials from the customer, Grupo Mexico, joined Siemens at the grand opening as the turbine was prepared for shipping. The day also celebrated the first gas turbine leaving the expanded facility, an SGT6-5000F gas turbine that will be exported to the 250-megawatt La Caridad 1 combined cycle power plant in Sonora State, Mexico. LEED Gold green building standards, making it the most advanced gas turbine production plant in operation. It was designed based on LEAN manufacturing principles and U.S. The groundbreaking for this state-of-the-art facility took place in October 2010.
In March 2010, Siemens Energy announced it would expand its worldwide manufacturing and service center for power generation equipment in Charlotte, adding gas turbine production and service capabilities to an existing plant for electric generators and steam turbines and LEED Gold certified engineering facility. and around the world.”Īttendees get a tour of the new Siemens plant floor during the Siemens Charlotte gas turbine plant opening Wednesday, Nov. “This Charlotte facility will play a vital role in addressing increased demand for reliable, clean and affordable energy right here in the U.S. “Despite the economic and policy uncertainties that exist, we are producing and exporting cleaner, more efficient power generation solutions paramount to solving the world’s energy challenges,” continued Fischer. as the right location for a global manufacturing hub,” said Roland Fischer, CEO of the Fossil Power Generation Division of Siemens Energy. “As the global market leader in the advanced gas turbine business, our investment in this new manufacturing facility in Charlotte is a bold move that further demonstrates Siemens’ confidence in the U.S. Siemens has operations and personnel in all 50 states and employs a total workforce of approximately 60,000 in the U.S., of which more than 2,300 work at 22 locations in the state of North Carolina. $350 million total investment results in more than 700 new jobs filled with 400 more to come by 2014, bringing total employment to more than 1800. “We would like to thank the North Carolina and Charlotte government leaders for their support in helping to make this expansion possible.”

Nearly 50% of the work in both the steam turbine-generator and gas turbine factories is for servicing customer-owned equipment or manufacturing replacement elements for existing plants.” It also further expands our capabilities to help our customers optimize their investments and competitively generate electricity to meet the nation’s growing needs. manufacturing footprint, the incredible opportunity for increasing American exports, and for creating even more highly skilled jobs in the region. “This state-of-the-art gas turbine manufacturing facility represents the expansion of our U.S. “Today marks an important milestone for Siemens Energy and for Charlotte,” said Randy Zwirn, president and CEO of Siemens Energy, Inc. Siemens has expanded its existing steam turbine and generator manufacturing site and will now produce the world's most efficient gas turbine.
