Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has signed two orders in the USA for the supply of 95 of its G132-3.465 MW wind turbines, totalling 330 MW.

Siemens Gamesa will supply 47 G132-3.465 MW wind turbines for the Midway Wind project, located in San Patricio County, Texas. The project was awarded by Apex Clean Energy, and recently acquired by Sammons Renewable Energy. The order also includes a 10-year full-scope service and maintenance agreement. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2018.

Once installed, the Midway project will increase Siemens Gamesa’s presence in Texas to over 2000 wind turbines, totalling more than 4 GW across over 30 projects. This is the fourth project that Siemens Gamesa has partnered with Apex.

Mark Goodwin, President and CEO of Apex, said: “We are pleased to once again work with Siemens Gamesa, and to have found a strong new partner in Sammons Renewable Energy. We look forward to providing construction and asset management services for Midway Wind. Apex’s asset management portfolio will encompass nearly 1700 MW of clean energy.”

The second project has an unspecified customer, and will feature 48 G132-3.465 MW wind turbines, and is scheduled for commissioning in 2019.
