Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has won two new onshore wind projects in Texas, with a total installed capacity of 325 MW. The projects include the supply of 65 SG 5.0-145 wind turbines and a multi-year service agreement.

Deliveries are scheduled to start in summer 2021, with commissioning taking place at both sites by the end of 2021.

Shannon Sturgil, CEO on Onshore North America at SGRE, said: “An order of this size evidences the strong suitability and success of the SG 5.0-145 for the US market. We are proud to contribute enough low-cost, clean energy for nearly 100 000 average US households to Texas, a leading state in wind energy.”

The SG 5.0-145 has an advanced control system and enhanced blade aerodynamics that optimise power generation. It has a flexible power rating that ranges between a 4.0-5.0 rating, providing a solution to fit the specific site conditions. Its modular design allows for increased mechanical capacity and optimal adaptation to logistics and construction requirements.
