Siemens Energy

Many people speculate about how much energy data centers will need in the future - but do you know the facts? We asked some of our colleagues who are currently at PTC'26 in Hawaii for their estimates.

Ready for a change of mindset? Don't miss the chance to connect with our leading experts at DTECH 2026 and learn how we can make your power grid ready for the future.

What happens to the grid with the phase-out of conventional power plants? 🤔 Renewable energy doesn’t provide the inertia needed for a stable grid. At Mehrum Nord in Germany there is the answer - our world’s first E-STATCOM facility. This facility is using supercapacitor-powered STATCOM to enable the stable integration of renewable energy into the grid and reduce CO2 emissions. It's a blueprint for renewable-ready grids across the globe!

Powering data centers and Europe’s next wave of digital infrastructure.⚡🚀 Our large power transformers have arrived in Portugal - headed for the main substation that will connect this project to Portugal’s national transmission grid. One of Europe’s largest data center campuses, Start Campus is scaling toward 1.2 GW of secured IT capacity. Together, we’re not just expanding infrastructure - we’re ensuring sustainable, reliable power in an increasingly constrained energy landscape 🌍

After many years working as an electrical engineer, Herwig had hung up his hard hat! 👷♂️ But he came out of retirement to lead a critical project at the construction site at Mehrum Nord in Germany. This is where we are delivering a world-first grid-stabilizing project. Working in field service means new challenges every day and seeing the direct results of energy transformation! #TeanPurple

Welcome to 1926! No, that's not a typo. To kick off the new year, we're taking you on a #FlashbackFriday journey back in time exactly 100 years. One of Latin America's largest hydroelectric power plants in terms of capacity began operating in Cacheuta, Argentina, in 1926. Siemens-Schuckertwerke was responsible for constructing the dam and power plant. The machine room had three turbo sets that generated electricity for the prosperous wine-growing region.

Data centers are driving an unprecedented surge in energy demand – and at POWERGEN 2026, the spotlight is on how we deliver reliable, scalable power for this digital era. From strategies to meet skyrocketing compute loads to the technologies enabling resilient infrastructure, this is where the future of energy takes shape. We’re excited to join industry leaders in shaping the next chapter of power generation. Let’s explore how innovation meets infrastructure – and what it takes to power tomorrow.

What if a single subsea HVDC connection could light up millions of UK homes with renewable, low-carbon power? That’s exactly what we will be building with National Grid: Sea Link. Enabled by our HVDC technology, this 138 km link between Kent and Suffolk will move vast amounts of renewable and low-carbon electricity with minimal losses, delivering secure supply and reinforcing the UK power grid. Together, we’re taking another crucial step toward a more sustainable, resilient energy future for the UK.

Holiday season is over and it's back to work! If your journey to work is rail-powered, we'll get you where you need to go thanks to our traction transformers! 🚆 Cheers to smooth rides in 2026!

We are heading to Honolulu, Hawaii, to join the global community shaping the future of digital infrastructure and connectivity at PTC 2026. Our focus: enabling resilient, sustainable energy systems that power the technologies driving tomorrow. Discover how our highly efficient turbines, industrial heat decarbonization solutions, and grid innovations create end-to-end energy for digital growth.
