Spread across 9,200m2 of land space, the new site is located at the Parque Industrial Latinoamericano (PILAT) in the city of Warnes. The centre will provide Siemens’ specialised high-tech traditional and digital services to energy customers in Bolivia and South America.

“As demand for energy increases, this new service centre, with its advanced digital operations and state-of-the-art monitoring, will serve as a catalyst for maintaining and optimising performance at power facilities across the country and throughout South America.”

“A sustainable and reliable power supply is vital to enabling economic prosperity in Bolivia.”

For the Bolivia energy service and training centre, Siemens is investing more than $23m and is expected to employ nearly 130 people.
