Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has received an order to supply 98 of its SWT-2.3-108 turbines for a 225MW wind farm to be located in the US state of Kansas.
The wind farm, which will spread over 40,000 acres of land, will generate enough clean energy to be supplied to about 73,000 average US households.
However, details about the party that placed the order has not been disclosed.
For the project, the company will manufacture blades at its manufacturing facility in Fort Madison, Iowa, US. At the company’s nearby nacelle and hub assembly facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, the nacelles and hubs for the wind farms will be assembled.
Delivery of the wind turbines is expected to begin in the middle of this year and the project is slated for completion by the end of this year.
The company stated: “Siemens Gamesa has installed over 5 GW, or more than 2,300 units, of the SWT-2.3-108 wind turbine in the U.S. In total, the company has provided turbines with an output capacity of more than 18 GW in the U.S., enough energy to power over five million average homes, and has a strong footprint consisting of manufacturing, service and offices.”
Back in January, this year, Siemens Gamesa had received order to supply for two wind farms totaling 330MW in the US.
The company has agreed to a total of 95 turbines, out of which 47 of its G132-3.465 MW will be suppled to Sammons Renewable Energy for the Midway wind project.
The two wind farms will generate enough energy to be supplied to more than 100,000 average US homes.
Recently, the company has received an order from MidAmerican Energy to supply turbines for a 77MW wind farm. The project will be part of the company’s Wind XI Project, with the option to add up to 5 additional SWT-2.625-120 turbines for a total capacity of 90MW.
