Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has received orders for two new onshore wind projects in southern Italy. The company will deliver 13 SWT-3.0-113 direct-drive units to European Energy’s 39 MW project in Tolve, and 10 G97-2.0 MW turbines to a 20 MW project near Capoiazzo. Both wind farms are located in the Basilicata Region in the south of Italy. Both orders include long-term service agreements, including advanced remote monitoring and diagnostics.

The Tolve wind project is near the Italian city of Potenza. The project, owned by the Danish company European Energy, will consist of 13 SWT-3.0-113 wind turbines, to be delivered in the third quarter of 2018. Each turbine is rated at 3.0 MW, and has a 113m rotor.

Ten units of the G97-2.0 MW wind turbine will be installed in Capoiazzo north-west of Potenza. The turbines will be delivered in the third quarter of 2018.
