Siemens in Negotiations to Build Two Power Plants in Argentina

On 10.11.06, In Mobile, By Editor

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) — Siemens AG, Germany’s largest maker of turbines that produce electricity, said it’s in talks with Argentina’s government to build two power plants in the country.

Siemens is the last remaining negotiating partner for the contract after rivals Alstom SA of France and Mitsubishi Corp. of Japan dropped out of the bidding, Konstanze Tauber, a Siemens spokeswoman, said via telephone today.

Citing a statement by Argentina’s government, newswire Reuters had reported that the authorities already awarded the contract to Siemens. The order is worth about $1 billion ($1.3 billion), Reuters said.

No contract has been signed yet, Tauber said. She declined to speculate about the potential value of the contract. Argentina wants to build one plant in the Santa Fe province and the other one in the Buenos Aires province, Tauber said.
