Desert Technologies, in a joint venture with Enerray SpA, acted as the full turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contractor for the Shamsuna Project located in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone. Similar to Desert Technologies’ Falcon Ma’an solar plant, the project is part of Jordan’s first round of photovoltaic energy procurement and achieved commercial operation in February 2016. The project is comprised of 40,320 solar photovoltaic panels of 250 Wp each, for a total capacity of 10.08 MWp. The plant is now under an operation and maintenance contract with Desert Technologies and Enerray in a joint venture. The plant is producing approximately 20,000,000 kWh per annum. The main components used in this project are Trina Solar (polysilicon modules), ABB Powerone (inverters) and Sunspyre (fixed-tilt mounting structures).

MicroPower (MPC), a Brazil based start-up, founded by former Tesla, Solar-City and Radian Generation executives, delivers solar power and battery storage-as-a-service (BaaS) to commercial and industrial clients in Brazil. Customers, commercially profit from energy bill savings, generated from load shifting and demand limit and ecologically benefit from cleaner and faster back-up power, enabled through the replacement of diesel generators with lithium-ion batteries. This landmark project combines innovative Siemens Smart Infrastructure products and software with the financing expertise of Siemens Financial Services.

Siemens Financial Services, together with the local municipal utility company (SWW Wunsiedel GmbH) and Riesner Gase GmbH have enabled the WUN H2 lighthouse project in Bavaria, Germany. WUN H2 will provide up to 1,350 tons p.a. of green hydrogen to the local economy and enable a CO2 emission reduction of up to 13,500 tons a year. Siemens Smart Infrastructure is the general contractor for the entire plant while the 8.75 MW PEM electrolyser is supplied by Siemens Energy. The plant showcases how Siemens key technologies and comprehensive financial expertise can support the economy and communities on the way towards a climate neutral future. WUN H2, following a holistic renewable energy approach, is connected to the existing Siemens battery storage facility and into the local industrial ecosystem such that by-products as waste heat or oxygen can be sold to nearby companies.
