An exclusive 10-year business agreement with Scottishpower is set to secure further work at Siemens Energy's Newcastle facility until 2019. The contract for parts, shop repairs and field service for three gas turbines, generators and a steam turbine at Rye House power station in Hertfordshire commenced on 1 January 2010.The contract will be managed by the Siemens project and order management teams based in Newcastle, with all required site works executed by the UK-based field service team. The project has already provided a boost for Siemens' Energy Service employees.
This deal follows on from the five-year business agreement between Siemens and Scottishpower, signed in 2005, to cover parts, shop repair and field service for the gas turbines, generators and the steam turbine. The project has resulted in Rye House reducing its emissions and improving efficiency while maintaining a high level of availability. The 10-year business agreement, split into two five-year terms (the first term from 2010 to 2014 and the second term from 2015 to 2019), will be worth millions to Siemens' Newcastle operation.
