The deal states that Siemens is to provide tailored solutions for total coverage of the long-term maintenance needs of the facility?s gas turbine installations.

Al Qatrana is the second of two IPP projects in Jordan and is the newest power plant in operation there. It has new technology and is thus more efficient than older power installations in the country.
