The Siemens Energy Sector was one of the four sectors of German industrial conglomerate
Siemens. Founded on January 1, 2009, it generated and delivered power from numerous sources including the extraction, conversion and transport of oil and natural gas in addition to renewable and
alternative energy sources. As of October 1, 2014, the sector level has been eliminated, including the Siemens Energy Sector.
