Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has signed a contract to supply six SG 3.4-132 wind turbines each with a flexible power rating of 3.65 MW to a wind farm project in Inner Mongolia, China. The project will be developed by the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) of China, and this is the first order SGRE has received from SPIC.
The order also marks the first landing of the SGRE 3.X platform model in China. Commissioning is expected in August 2019. SGRE will also be responsible for the O&M of the turbines for five years, with a warranty of 6-20 years for major components.
The project, located in Holingola, Tongliao City, is designed as a continuation of a circular economy demonstration project with generated electricity being used at an aluminium plant. The demonstration project maximises the use of local resources. The project will also gather wind farm performance data for a planned 6 GW wind power base of SPIC that has been approved for Inner Mongolia.
