A total of 92 units of the SWT-2.3-108, 144 units of the SWT-2.625-120, and 74 units of the G126-2.625 MW wind turbines will be installed across the various project sites.

Ricardo Chocarro, CEO Onshore for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, said: “I’m very pleased that Siemens Gamesa was selected for these five major orders in the USA. These orders demonstrate the confidence that our customers have in our combined product offerings. With our strong product portfolio, we are able to provide competitive products meeting our customers’ specific needs in North America, a market that is critical to the success of this company.”

The nacelles and hubs for the SWT-2.3-108 and SWT-2.625-120 will be assembled at the SGRE factory in Hutchinson, Kansas, and the majority of the blades for the five projects will be manufactured at the company’s blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa, with the excess being sourced within the North America manufacturing network.
