The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) has selected Siemens to provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services (O&M) for three combined cycle power plants with a capacity of 4.8 GW each in BeniSuef, New Capital and Burullus, for the next eight years. This is the largest contract Siemens Power Generation Services has ever received and entails the implementation of the company’s Omnivise digital service solutions. The multi-year agreement covers all on-site equipment including 24 gas turbines, 12 steam turbines, 36 generators, 24 heat recovery steam generators and three 500 kV gas-insulated switchgear systems. Siemens will also implement services to improve asset visibility, reliability and availability of the three power plants. Data from plant operations will be collected, analysed and transformed into actionable insights for accurate diagnostics, troubleshooting and condition forecasting, improving plant reliability, and reducing downtime.
