Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has won orders to equip five wind farms with a total of 20 onshore wind turbines, with a combined total capacity of 52.3 MW.

SGRE will extend an existing wind farm owned by Getproject in the Brandenburg Elbe-Elster area, adding ten turbines to the farm. These turbines will be SG 2.1-114 units and are scheduled to go into operation in 2018. SGRE will also act as a service provider covering maintenance for 20 years.

SGRE will be supplying three SWT-3.2-113 turbines with a total capacity of 9.6 MW to the Papenhagen wind farm in Börgerende near Rostock, owned by the developer WIND-projekt. WIND-projekt has also ordered two SWT-3.15-142/SWT-DD-142 turbines for its Hof Tatschow wind farm in the same region, due to be connected to the grid in late summer. SGRE also won a 20-year full-service contract.

SGRE is supplying a 3.6 MW SWT-3.6-130 wind turbine to BMV Energie to Mutzschen in Saxony in late summer 2018. SGRE has signed a full maintenance contract for 20 years.

By summer 2018, SGRE will supply four SWT-3.2-113 turbines with a total capacity of 12.8 MW to Hemelingen near Bremen to Energiekontor. Two of the turbines will be mounted on 115 m tall towers, the other two on towers 92.5 m tall. This is to meet air traffic control requirements and to reduce shadowing effects. SGRE has a 20-year service contract for the plant.
