Siemens has won an order from Turkish independent power producer (IPP) Cengiz Enerji for a 600mw gas-fired generating set to be installed at Samsun. The German firm said the plant’s efficiency of almost 61% will be the highest of any fossil fuel fired power plant in Turkey. Commissioning is scheduled for the start of 2015. The order is worth €300mn, which includes a long term service contract.
