Siemens Gamesa to Supply 21 MW Wind Turbines in Primary Deal with SPIC China

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has announced that it has reached an agreement to supply six SG 3.4-132 wind turbines with a flexible power rating of 3.65 MW to a wind farm project in Inner Mongolia, China. The project is developed by the State Power Investment Corporate (SPIC) of China, one of country’s top five power generators, and it is the first order SGRE received from SPIC.

The order also scripts the first landing of the Siemens Gamesa 3.X platform model in China, and commissioning of the project is projected in August 2019. Siemens Gamesa will also be accountable for the operation & maintenance of the turbines for 5 years, and 6-20 years’ warranty for major components.

The project, located in Holingola, Tongliao city, is designed as a continuance of a circular economy demonstration project with generated electricity to be self-used by an electrolytic aluminum plant of SPIC. The demonstration project maximizes the use of local resources, comprising wind, coal, water and heating, etc.

The latest wind project is also anticipated to gather wind farm performance data for a planned 6 GW wind power base of SPIC that has been sanctioned to create in Inner Mongolia.

“We’re delighted to reach this milestone cooperation with SPIC, one of China’s top five power producers. Based on our global scale and size, business diversification and technological leadership, SGRE is better positioned than before to support our customers to harness the power of wind in the world’s largest wind energy market here and beyond,” believed Richard Paul Luijendijk, CEO of SGRE Onshore APAC.
