The Siemens Energy Sector was one of the four sectors of Siemens AG from January 1, 2008 to October 1, 2014 and mainly dealt with the production of systems and components as well as services in the field of energy supply .
As of October 1, 2014, the sector level no longer exists and with it the Siemens Sector Energy.
Divisions
The Siemens Energy Sector consisted of the following divisions
- Power Generation (products for generating electricity from fossil fuels, products for the oil and gas industry, CEO : Roland Fischer)
- Energy Service (Energy Services, CEO: Randy Zwirn)
- Power Transmission (energy transmission, CEO: Jan Mrosik)
- Wind Power ( wind turbines for offshore and onshore wind parks, CEO: Markus Tacke)
