Siemens Gamesa has been selected by MidAmerican Energy Company for the Southern Hills Expansion wind power project, which will feature 21 SG 4.5-145 wind turbines, operating at 4.8MW, and will be located in Iowa. This project also features the company’s premier service and maintenance agreement for three and a half years.

This turbine model has been optimised for sites with medium winds, and offers a flexible rating ranging from 4.2 to 4.8MW. This increases its adaptability to be configured for optimal performance in each individual project, ensuring maximum returns.

José Antonio Miranda, CEO of Onshore Americas at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, said: “We are once again proud to have been awarded a project by MidAmerican Energy Company, strengthening our long-standing relationship with them. We have had great success with the SG 4.5-145 wind turbine, with over 1.4GW sold in the US, Canada, and Mexico, and we are excited to continue growing that number.”

Siemens Gamesa has installed over 10,000 wind turbines in the US totalling about 20GW of installed capacity.
