Background
The combined cycle power in Schwarzheide went into operation in 1994. Since that time, it was comprised of two OEM gas turbines and two Siemens steam turbines. The power station supplied combined heat-and-power to BASF's chemical park.[6]
In 2019, Siemens announced it was replacing of of the two OEM turbines with a SGT-800 gas turbine.[7] These renovations took place in May 2021.[8] Siemens notes that this turbine is capable of including Hydrogen in its mix of fuels.[9]
