The company uses copper indium gallium diselenide to produce CIGS cells, which achieve up to 24.9% efficiency in laboratory and production cells of up to 17 percent average efficiency. This type of solar cell is ideal for portable power, BIPV, Military and aeronautics. The power output and is 1.5 to 2X greater in performance than comparable thin film flexible solar materials. GSHK Solar opened in 1994 in China in partnership with the Chinese government. In 2008 GSHK finished another phase of development as it expanded its CIGS production to a new 100 MW facility in Mudu, China. The company expects to produce 100 megawatts of the films at the plant in 2008 before ramping up to 250 megawatts of capacity in 2012 and 500 megawatts by 2014 with its new manufacturing plant in Brazil and Turkey. This makes GSHK Solar a key player in the foundation of CIGS Solar and one of the largest full-scale manufacturer of CIGS thinfilm photovoltaic in the world.

Siemens has been present in Kuwait since 1956. In 1979, Siemens established a local company (NGEECO). Over the last few decades, German technical expertise combined with Kuwaiti support provided an excellent basis for the partnership’s continued growth. In 2005, NGEECO was renamed Siemens Electrical and Electronic Services (Siemens EES), reflecting Siemens’ desire to further expand and strengthen its business relationship with Kuwait. These efforts have been very successful.

In 2013, Siemens successfully completed Az Zour South Power Plant project. The company started implementing works for two extension projects to add 500 MW to Az Zour South and Sabiya power plants.

Siemens Kuwait continues to develop the high voltage electrical transmission network for the MEW with the completion within 2017 of strategic infrastructure projects in the Jaber Al-Ahmed, Wafra and Khiran areas of Kuwait.

Siemens successfully supplied and commissioned a replacement industrial steam turbine for Petrochemical Industrial. Over the next three years, Siemens is looking forward to participating in upcoming projects in the Power, Oil and Gas markets.

SIEMENS is also contributing in promoting technology transfer with Kuwait educational sector, where different initiatives are currently developed to provide support to engineering universities to upgrade their study curriculums.
