About the project
“Hydrogen-ready concept, install today for tomorrow” is how one could briefly and simply describe the technology of the SGT 800 turbines, which are used in the new Mainova power plant in Frankfurt.
The range of services offered by SGS Industrial Services GmbH includes:
- Mechanical assembly
- of the two SGT 800 gas turbines
- of two filter houses including air intake ducts
- of their piping
- Logistics between storage areas and the construction site
- In the area of electrical installation:
- Installation of a cable support system approximately 15 km long
- Installation of grounding systems throughout the new facility
- Installation and assembly of 14 dry-type transformers
- Installation of 4 oil-filled transformers, including oil treatment and filling
- Installation and installation of low-voltage switchgear, a total of 105 cabinets
- Installation and erection of 2 medium-voltage switchgear cabinets, a total of 28 cabinets
- Installation of control system cabinets, 65 cabinets
- Installation of 480 m of busbars between the transformers and switchgear
- Installation of 4 battery banks for emergency power supply
- Installation of process control technology (measurement technology) on the turbo set (generator and gas turbine), waste heat steam generator (boiler), and water-steam piping system
From August 2024 to January 2026, the #SGSteam will be making a significant contribution to the progress of this future-oriented project with its assembly and installation work. The power plant is scheduled to go into operation as early as fall 2026.

Über unseren Kunden
Siemens Energy is one of the world's leading energy technology companies. Its product portfolio covers virtually the entire energy value chain – from power and heat generation to energy transmission and storage. The portfolio includes conventional and renewable energy technology, such as gas and steam turbines, hydrogen-powered hybrid power plants, generators, and transformers.
For the construction of a new plant like the Mainova model power plant, which had to be planned in a very tight space in downtown Frankfurt, SGS is an ideal partner for us, providing the turbine package and the electrical and control systems installation scope.
