Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has secured orders for the supply of 39 onshore wind turbines in France, with a combined generation capacity of 104 MW. These will be at five wind farms being developed in the regions of Hauts de France, Grand Est, Burgundy, and in western France.

Siemens Gamesa has been selected to supply, transport, and install 11 of its SWT-3.2-113 turbines, totalling 35.2 MW, for Innovent’s Eplessier project in Hauts de France. These turbines will be delivered in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, the company will deliver another 11 SWT-3.2-113 turbines for the ENGIE Green’s Les Monts projects in the Grand Est region. The company will maintain both projects for 20 years.

The company has also secured the supply of eight SG 2.1-114 turbines with a 16-year service agreement for a 16 MW project in Burgundy, and four G97-2.0 MW turbines with a 15-year service contract for an 8 MW project in Western France. The company will also supply another five G97-2.0 MW turbines to an undisclosed customer for a 10 MW wind farm located in western France.

Enrique Pedrosa, CEO for Siemens Gamesa’s Onshore Business in South Europe and Africa, said: “These orders demonstrate Siemens Gamesa’s ability to respond to its customers’ constraints and its capability to deliver tailor-made projects taking into account the wide variety of site characteristics and product demand. Siemens Gamesa wants to become a strong contributor to the energy model transition underway in France through the excellence, quality, and guarantees offered by its products and services.”
