Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has announced an order for the 235 MW Överturingen wind park in central Sweden. SGRE is to supply 56 units of the SWT-DD-130 wind turbine rated at 4.2 MW each, including delivery, installation, and long-term service.

The customer is the Green Investment Group (GIG), a business of Macquarie Capital.

Installation at the site in the Ånge community, situated halfway between the cities of Sundsvall and Östersund, is scheduled for 2019 with full commissioning the same year. Manufacturing of nacelles and blades will take place in the Siemens Gamesa facilities in Denmark. Other construction work will be sourced from local companies.

Ricardo Chocarro, CEO Onshore at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, said: “We are proud to set a visible example of the performance of our products in Sweden. Our technology perfectly meets the site- and project-specific requirements. At the same time, this project demonstrates the attractiveness of wind energy for the capital markets, investors, and communities.”
