Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE), the leading wind turbine OEM in Spain, where it has installed over 13 GW, has secured an order from Gas Natural Fenosa Renovables for the supply of 22 turbines to two wind turbines being developed in Spain, with a combined capacity of 64 MW. Both wind farms are the result of the renewable power capacity allocated to the energy company in the auction held by the Spanish Government last May.

The first order is for the installation of 15 of its G126-2.625 MW turbines, while the second is for the supply of seven G132-3465 MW turbines, which features 64.5 m glass-fibre blades. These orders are the first time that both models have been installed in commercial wind farms in Spain. The two prototypes for these models were validated and certified at the R&D wind farm located in the Alaiz mountain range, Navarra, Spain.

The parts for both sets of turbines will be manufactured in Spain: the blades will be made at the Aoiz factory in Navarra, and the nacelles will be produced at the Agreda plant in Soria.

The wind turbines are scheduled for delivery during the third quarter of 2018, and the facilities are due to be commissioned by the end of 2018.
