Siemens hands over Bugok II combined cycle power plant in South Korea ahead of
schedule

Siemens Energy officially handed over the Bugok II combined cycle power plant to
the customer GS Electric Power and Services Co., Ltd (GS EPS ), Seoul. After a
construction period of only 26 months the plant with a capacity of 565 megawatts
(MW) was put on line about one month ahead of schedule in March 2008. Siemens
has signed a 20-year maintenance agreement with GS EPS for the Bugok I and II
plants.

In addition to turnkey construction of Bugok II Siemens also supplied key components


including two SGT6-4000F gas turbines, the steam turbine with condenser, three
generators, water/steam cycle components, the process engineering and I&C and the
DCS system SPPA-T3000.

Siemens had already supplied the Bugok I plant which has an installed capacity of 550
MW. The two units Bugok I and II are located in Danjin Province, approximately 100
kilometers south of Seoul. They were the first projects awarded to a foreign company by a
South Korean independent power producer. For its efficiency and environmental
friendliness Bugok II has already been given the number one ranking for combined cycle
power plants in South Korea by the Korean Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy.
Since commissioning the plant has been primarily operated in base-load duty.

Power demand in South Korea is increasing at an annual rate of approximately five to six
percent. In addition to Bugok I and II, Siemens has since 2002 also supplied the Incheon I
and Yulchon combined cycle plants. The Incheon II plant is currently under construction
and is scheduled to go on line in the summer of 2009. All five power plants, each rated at
approximately 550 MW, make a major contribution toward providing South Korea with an
efficient, eco-friendly supply of electrical energy.

Siemens also recently posted an order for the supply of four gas turbines, two steam
turbines and six generators for the POSCO Power combined cycle plant in Incheon, where
two new units with a combined capacity of 1000 MW will be added to the existing units one
to four.
