As per the contract, Siemens will supply the model SWT-3.0-101 wind turbine having a capacity of 3MW and a rotor diameter of 101 meters.
The contract also includes 15 year maintenance for the gearless wind turbines, which are set to be erected and commissioned in 2014.
Diamond Generating Europe (DGE) and the French renewable energy firm EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN) are investing in the deal.
Siemens Wind Power EMEA sales region CEO Jan Kjaersgaard said compared to conventional wind turbine technology, their direct-drive wind turbine has half the components and substantially fewer rotating parts.
"This enhances reliability and reduces the maintenance scope for the plants. We are pleased to be installing this future-oriented technology for the first time onshore in France," Kjaersgaard added.
DGE and EDF EN hold 50% interest each in the four power projects.
