Siemens AG (SIE.XE) said Wednesday that it has received an order valued at 450 million euros ($492.8 million) to build a power plant in France.

The German industrial giant said that the plant, which will be located in Landivisiau in western France, will provide an installed capacity of 446 megawatts to help Brittany's growing demand for electricity.

The order was placed by Compagnie Electrique de Bretagne, which is fully owned by the French gas-and-energy provider Total Direct Energie, a subsidiary of Total SA (FP.FR), Siemens said.

"With Landivisiau, we are developing and building a modern combined-cycle power plant that will play a major role in supporting the security of electricity supply in France utilizing Siemens's efficient and environmentally friendly technology," said Karim Amin, chief executive of power generation at Siemens Gas and Power.

The power plant is scheduled to be delivered in the second half of 2021 and the company will maintain it for a period of 20 years, it added.
