Siemens Energy will supply gas and steam turbine technology for the Taweelah C Independent Power Producer (IPP) project in Abu Dhabi, a 2.6 gigawatts combined-cycle natural gas power plant being developed to strengthen power supply and support the integration of renewable energy into the UAE grid.
{alcircleadd}The company’s scope includes three gas turbines, two steam turbines, five generators and associated auxiliary systems. Once operational, the facility is expected to provide flexible power generation to meet peak demand, improve grid reliability and help balance increasing volumes of renewable electricity.
The project is being designed with future carbon capture and storage (CCS) capability in mind, supporting the UAE’s long-term goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. While powered by natural gas, the plant is intended to serve as a transition asset within the country’s broader energy strategy.
