Siemens Energy announced in a statement that it has been selected to provide power equipment for the Dubai Waste Management Center waste-to-energy plant (wte), in the UAE, which will be the largest in the Middle East region when it is completed in 2024.
The Project was awarded by Hitachi Zosen Inova.
Hitachi Zosen Inova is part of a consortium, comprising Dubai Holding, Dubal Holding, ITOCHU Corporation, BESIX Group, and Tech Group, to develop the plant, which will be built and operated under a 35-year concession period with Dubai Municipality.
Siemens Energy will primarily supply electrical house substations to deliver distributed power to the entire process plant, which will be in continuous operations.
Siemens Energy will provide equipment such as switchgears, distribution transformers, and a variety of other power solutions for the project, designed to meet stringent requirements, to ensure highly reliable operations and low emission electricity.
The Dubai Waste Management Center will have capacity to process 1.9 million tons of waste per year, which is equivalent to 45 percent of Dubai’s current municipal waste generation, and convert it to renewable energy.
