Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has secured a second order in Russia from Enel Russia for the supply of 201 MW of wind turbines. The scope of the agreement includes supply, installation, and commissioning of 57 Siemens Gamesa 3.X platform turbines at the Kola wind farm, located in the Murmansk region of Russia. The Kola wind farm is due to be commissioned in 2021. The contract includes full scope O&M services during the first two years with an option to extend.

The order is part of the preliminary agreement signed with Enel in 2017 for the supply of 291 MW to two wind farms in Russia. The first order, the Azovskaya project with 90 MW capacity, was announced by Siemens Gamesa in early October 2018.

Steven Pryor, CEO of Onshore North Europe and Middle East region at SGRE, said: “We are proud to announce this second big contract in Russia and to continue the successful cooperation with Enel. Siemens Gamesa is well under way to establishing a strong position in the growing Russian renewables market. We have introduced modern technology and we have taken important steps to ensure local content requirements.”
