Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) will supply 70 units of its SWT-DD-130 wind turbines to three offshore wind farms in Norway. The turbines each have a rated capacity of 4.2 MW and a 130 m rotor diameter. SGRE has signed a 25-year full service agreement with a yield-based availability warranty.

The project sites are located in the Bjerkreim and Ha municipalities, and there will be 15, 18, and 37 units at the separate sites. Installation of the three wind farms, the 76 MW Skinansfjellet project, the 63 MW Gravdal project, and the 155 MW Eikeland-Steinsland project, will start in spring 2019, with completion planned for autumn 2019.

The owner and long-term operator of the three wind farms is Luxcara, based in Hamburg, Germany. SGRE is executing the projects in close collaboration with Luxcara and the Norwegian developer Norsk Vind Energi.
