Siemens Energy opened its new subsea technology center in Trondheim, Norway on September 1st. Siemens invested more than EUR 10 million in the refurbishment of a building in which new process equipment will be developed and manufactured. The new facility covering an area of 10,000sq/m will be the global research and development center for the company’s subsea oil and gas business.
The new research and development center will be part of the Power Electronics Center, which is already located in Trondheim. This center focuses on innovative development, engineering and production for subsea grid equipment, drilling and marine propulsion systems, and tailor-made converter systems.
