Siemens announced a new order to supply natural gas power generation hardware, software, and service support to re-power Cooperative Energy’s R.D. Morrow, Sr. Generating Station facility in Purvis, Mississippi. Cooperative Energy will use Siemens’ SGT6-9000HL natural gas-powered turbine, SGen6-3000W generator, and SPPA-T3000 turbine controls system to re-power the facility’s existing coal-powered steam turbines. The natural gas-fueled combined cycle power plant (CCPP) has a gross installed electrical capacity of nearly 550 megawatts (MW) and will supply reliable electricity to Cooperative Energy’s 11 Member cooperatives, which collectively serve approximately 430,000 homes and businesses across the state. Cooperative Energy will re-power one of its existing coal-fired generation units with a Siemens SGT6-9000HL turbine, derived from proven Siemens H-class technology and the company’s more than 170-year engineering legacy. Siemens’ SGT6-9000HL advanced air-cooled gas turbine uses new innovative technologies and design features to reach next levels of combined cycle efficiency. Siemens has also been awarded a 20-year, long-term service agreement, that will help support the gas turbine and generator’s optimal operating efficiency during the life cycle of the project. The contract includes service on parts, repairs, field services, program management, and offerings from Siemens’ Omnivise Digital Services portfolio, including remote monitoring and diagnostics. The contract continues Siemens’ long-standing relationship with Cooperative Energy that also includes servicing the SGT6-5000F units at Cooperative Energy’s at Batesville, Mississippi facility. Two additional power plants are currently under construction that will rely on Siemens HL-class gas turbine technology in North Carolina, and in Lincolnshire, UK.
