Siemens Energy

On International Women's Day Lottie tells us about her work, which will power over 1 million homes! ⚡ Lottie is part of a diverse team helping to drive the energy transition through building two Offshore Transformer Modules (OTM) for the Moray West Offshore wind farm, the substations which sit in the centre of a wind farm. Inspiring technology and inspiring colleagues! #inspireinclusion #investinwomen

The #energytransition isn't just about sustainable, reliable and affordable energy systems – it’s also about people! 👇 It's important for our people to be passionate and motivated in their jobs and know that they can make a positive difference. It's what encourages people to join, perform at their best, and grow within our business. #teampurple 💜

Becoming climate neutral in our own operations is integral to the #sustainability journey. ♻️ At our biggest factory in Brazil, our people are demonstrating their commitment to sustainability through projects such as ‘zero waste to landfill’, where 92% of all waste is now recycled! 👇 #zerowaste #recycling #circulareconomy

Everyone has a role to play in the #energytransition 👥. As the International Energy Agency (IEA) marks its 50th anniversary, we recognise that their work continues to be pivotal in helping countries and industries navigate the energy transition, balancing economic growth, environmental sustainability, and energy security. Together, we are working towards a world where energy is abundant, clean, and accessible to all.

📢 We're excited to share our plans to build and service large power transformers in our Charlotte, North Carolina facility - another step forward in addressing U.S. national energy supply and advancing the #energytransition. Large power transformers increase or decrease electrical voltage for use in different applications, which enables the transmission of electricity over long distances, and stabilizes electrical transmission across regions and are a key component of expanding existing grid infrastructure.

Wishing you a year of abundance and prosperity. May your days be charged with positive energy. Happy Lunar New Year!

Today we release our Q1 figures, but this is not new information! So today we bring you some figures that might be new (and maybe more interesting!) to you: 1️⃣ The floating combined cycle power plant, Estrella del Mar II, travelled 46 days to get to Santo Domingo, where it can energize up to 100K homes. 2️⃣ The Viking Link Interconnector enables bi-directional power switch between the UK and Denmark and is 765km long, which is the length of over 7,000 football pitches! 3️⃣ We have 97,000 #teampurple colleagues in over 90 countries energizing society around the globe. 4️⃣ The share of women in top leadership positions is now 28% - step by step we are improving this.

As #Australia sets ambitious goals to increase its renewable energy share, the focus intensifies on modernizing the grid infrastructure. Read more about the energy transition challenges and opportunities Down Under 👇

In #Australia, we are one of the smaller employers: 290 people work for #TeamPurple Down Under. However, their influence on the energy landscape should not be underestimated. Step by step we are doing everything we can to drive forward the energy transition: ✔ We are one of the industry partners of the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG)-run Hydrogen Park South Australia. With our innovative solution, a facility is able to produce an estimated of 20 kilograms of clean hydrogen per hour, amounting to 175 tonnes of green hydrogen for Australia each year. ✔ Grids often lack the inertia of heavy power turbines that can instantly bridge sudden frequency drops. So, to avert the risk of blackouts, Australian grid operator ElectraNet Pty Ltd is turning to high-tech flywheels to increase inertia and maintain grid stability.

In terms of energy, Australia is a really exciting continent, but unfortunately too little is known about it when it comes to the #energytransition. We want to change that! Board member Tim Holt is in #Australia for four days to get to know the local energy market better and it’s a great opportunity to share some interesting energy facts about Down Under. Did you know that Australia’s most successful rock band AC⚡DC wouldn't exist without Siemens Energy's technology, but we've moved on and now it's all about HV⚡DC! As you can see, there is a lot to tell about Australia and energy: 👉 The flight from Frankfurt to Brisbane is about 16,000 kilometers and the individual CO2 footprint is about 13.9 tons. To "compensate" for this amount of CO2, our electrolyzer "Trailblazer" at the Air Liquide plant in Oberhausen has to run for just over 4 hours. The flight to Australia takes around 21 hours, during which time our electrolyzer produces around 6,700 kg of hydrogen. That's almost 53 tons of CO2 equivalent. 👉 If Tim looks out of the window on his flight to Australia, he may be lucky enough to see various wind parks from Siemens Gamesa. For example, in Steinriegel, one of the largest wind parks in Austria. Or further south in Turkey, where he flies over the Kanije and Kiyikoy wind parks near Istanbul, but also in the center of Turkey in Baglar or Ardicli, where a total of 53 turbines have been installed. Further into his flight, Tim may fly over our turbines located in India, 96 of them at the Bableshwar wind park and 100 turbines in Poovani. 👉 If Tim were to greet every Siemens Energy employee in Australia personally, he would have to shake 290 hands. So we're a very small employer in Australia, but we're still happy to have #TeamPurple driving forward the energy transition in Australia.
