Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has announced a 225 MW contract to supply 98 SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines for an undisclosed project in Kansas.
The wind farm will span across over 40,000 acres of land and supply enough energy for nearly 73,000 average U.S. homes, says SGRE, which signed the deal in the January-March period.
The blades for the project will come from the company’s blade manufacturing facility in Fort Madison, Iowa. The nacelles and hubs will be assembled at the company’s nearby nacelle and hub assembly facility in Hutchinson, Kan. Deliveries for the project are expected to begin in mid-2018, and completion of the project is slated for the end of 2018.
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. to date.
