E.ON and Siemens were presented with the Bavarian Energy Award 2010 by Katja Hessel, State Secretary at the Bavarian Economics Ministry. The prize is worth 10,000 euros. The two companies earned the award for their efforts to ensure safe and reliable power supply in keeping with the highest environmental and climate-protection standards at the Irsching 4 power plant. This ultra-modern and extremely efficient plant features the world's most powerful gas turbine. With this turbine, Irsching 4, a (gas and steam) combined-cycle power plant, will achieve a hitherto unique world-record efficiency of over 60 percent. The two companies have agreed to donate the prize money of 10,000 euros to the vocational college in Pfaffenhofen, in the immediate vicinity of the Irsching power plant.
