Siemens Gamesa has secured its first wind power order in Russia.
Enel Russia, one of the country’s independent power producers, has ordered 90 MW of wind turbines as part of a preliminary agreement signed between Siemens Gamesa and Enel in 2017 for the supply of 291 MW at two wind farms in Russia.
The scope of the agreement includes delivery, installation and service for 26 SG 3.4-132 turbines at the Azovskaya wind farm, located in southern Russia. The project is expected to be commissioned in 2020.
In order to fulfill localization requirements, some of the turbine components will be locally procured and assembled, notes Siemens Gamesa.
“We are excited to report this milestone as part of our market entry in Russia, and we appreciate the trust from our key account client, Enel,” says Steven Pryor, CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s onshore North Europe and Middle East business. “This first contract comes in parallel with our ongoing activities for localization of nacelle assembly and local component sourcing.”
