Siemens H selected for Hickory Run

Tyr Energy has chosen Siemens H technology for its 1000 MWe Hickory Run Energy Center 2x1 combined cycle plant, to be built by Kiewit Power Constructors in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. The plant, slated for operation in spring 2020, will be designed for fast, flexible operation to support renewable integration. 

Siemens Financial Services is providing an equity investment and will own 20% of the project alongside Tyr Energy and Kansai Electric Power. Siemens has also signed a long-term service agreement, which will include remote monitoring and diagnostics, part of the Siemens “digital services” offering.

The Siemens scope will include two SGT6-8000H gas turbines, one SST-5000 steam turbine, two SGen-100A generators as part of the gas turbine packages, and one SGen-2000H generator as part of the steam turbine package. 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.
