Siemens Gamesa to provide Spanish wind farms with 92 turbines
Siemens Gamesa, the Spanish wind turbine manufacturer, will be provided Spain with 92 wind turbines to be installed at 10 farms across the country.
The combined capacity of all the turbines reaches 298MW, separated into three different models.
The company will offer 58 of its SG 3.4-132 models, 28 units of the SG 2.6-114 turbine, and six SG 2.1-114 turbines.
The turbines will be distributed between five different developers, all of which were awarded new capacity in recent auctions.
As part of the renewable energy deal, Siemens Gamesa will be responsible for the operations and maintenance of the new farms.
The firm will begin distributing the turbines in October this year, supplying to Grupo Jorge, Viesgo, the Communidad General de Riegos del Alto Aragó scheme, and two unnamed companies – the firm will operate and maintain the farms for 10 years.
