An agreement between Siemens, Dubal Holding and Mubadala Investment Company has been signed that will see the German industrial giant build a 600 MW combined-cycle gas-fired power plant at Emirates Global Aluminium’s smelter in Jebel Ali, Dubai. The plant will become the first in the Gulf Co-operation Council region to feature Siemen’s high efficiency H-class turbine, and the 90^th worldwide. In replacing the existing five turbines which currently power the smelter (which will in the future provide standby capacity), greenhouse gas emissions will be decreased by around 10%, while NO_x emissions are expected to drop by 58%. As part of the agreement, the smelter has decided to buy the electricity from the plant for 25 years.
