Siemens & Salzgitter Forge Alliance for Green Steel Production

Siemens Energy, a leading provider of sustainable energy solutions, has been entrusted by Salzgitter AG to construct a cutting-edge substation as part of the esteemed SALCOS® transformation program. This landmark project aims to propel Salzgitter AG towards low carbon steel production, an ambitious endeavor that requires a secure and reliable supply of electrical energy. To facilitate this transition, Siemens Energy will erect a substation on Salzgitter AG's premises, seamlessly connecting it to the esteemed 380 kV "Salzgitter Industrial Line."The newly constructed substation will play a pivotal role in safeguarding the electrical energy supply for Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH's state-of-the-art production facilities under the SALCOS® initiative. Recognizing the immense energy requirements of these advanced manufacturing processes, Siemens Energy's substation will ensure an uninterrupted flow of power, enabling the switch to virtually carbon-neutral steel production.The comprehensive contract encompasses the deployment of a 380 kV gas-insulated switchgear, a 220 kV gas-isolated switchgear, substation auxiliary systems, and the meticulous design engineering. Furthermore, Siemens Energy will provide four high voltage and medium voltage transformers to facilitate the initial phase of SALCOS® development.
