8,258 megawatts out of 11,936 megawatts were produced by gas-driven turbines.

A new record in gas-produced electricity has been set: 69% of all electricity produced in Israel. The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) (TASE: ELEC.B22) reported that it had measured electricity production yesterday at 11,936 megawatts, of which 8,258 megawatts had been produced by gas-driven turbines, and the rest using coal and other sources.

IEC's own production totaled 8,592 megawatts, 72.5% of the total, while private producers used gas to produce 2,268 megawatts.

The nation's top power equipment maker inked a Notice of Award (NOA) deal with Egypt's state-owned power supplier duo of Upper Egypt Electricity Production Company (UEEPC) and Cairo Electricity Production Company (CEPC) to provide 650 megawatt gas turbines and power generators as well as their related parts for two power plants in Egypt.

One gas turbine will be built for the Assiut Power Plant, which is currently under construction by UEEPC, and the other is set for CEPC's Cairo West Power Plant. Both pieces of equipment will be delivered by April 2020, Doosan Heavy said in a press release.

MUNICH, Germany – Belayim Petroleum Co. (Petrobel) has ordered three model SGT-400 industrial gas turbines and associated electrical generators from Siemens’ Dresser-Rand business.

Petrobel, a joint venture between Eni and Egypt’s General Petroleum Corp. (EGPC), is developing the Zohr gas field offshore Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea.

The order scope also encompasses a service package that includes spare parts supply and on-site maintenance. The turbine-generator sets are slated for delivery in early 2017.

Christopher Rossi, CEO of the Dresser-Rand business, said: “Following the major billion-euro power plant order Siemens secured from Egypt last June, our power generation technology will further support the nation’s efforts to grow its economy and expand its reliable energy supply.

First Siemens gas turbines begin their journey to Egypt Friday, Feb 19, 2016 - YOUR RENEWABLE NEWS

The first gas turbines for the largest order in Siemens' history have started their journey to Egypt. Two turbines for the Beni Suef power plant project will be loaded onto a barge at the Berlin Westhafen port, from where they will be shipped to the Rotterdam seaport. Via the Port of Adabiya on the Red Sea the 890-ton cargo will then be transported to Beni Suef. By comparison, an empty Airbus A380 has a weight of 277 metric tons. The gas turbines are scheduled to be installed in the power plant in mid-May.

The two SGT5-8000H gas turbines will begin their three-month trip at Berlin Westhafen and will end it at the Beni Suef power plant project situated around 110 kilometers south of Cairo. The machines, which each measure 12.6 meters long, 5.5 meters high and 5.5 meters wide, will be loaded into a barge with the aid of two cranes and first shipped to the Port of Rotterdam. In this seaport, the two gas turbines will be loaded onto the "Wiebke" heavy load carrier with the ship's onboard cranes. The ship will travel from Rotterdam to the Mediterranean Sea across the Strait of Gibraltar. The cargo arrives at the destination port of Adabiya on the Red Sea, passing through the Suez Canal. A 40-axle trailer will transport the turbines the rest of the way, traveling the 250-kilometer route along the Nile to Beni Suef in about five days.
