Siemens Case Study: Power for Long Island. Siemens has played a key role in building power generation equipment for New York State’s utilities. For example, on Long Island, where per capita demand for power is one of the highest in the nation, we’re providing solutions that ensure the availability of power to customers where new plants cannot readily be constructed.

power. The 120-mile-long island is poorly connected to mainland power grids, and most of its power is purchased from suppliers to the north. Siemens is helping to make more energy accessible to Long Island in a big way. The company engineered a high-voltage system
generated from water heated by thousands of mirrors. The facility in California’s Mojave Desert is being built by BrightSource Energy. When the power plant commences operations in late 2011, it will supply climate-friendly solar power to 35,000 households.
