Siemens Gamesa has signed a new deal for its 5.X platform in Sweden. It will deliver seven SG 5.8-170 and four SG 5.8-155 to wind power developer Eolus Vind . The turbines will use OptimaFlex technology, which will allow the configuration of the wind turbines to be optimised and delivered with different power ratings and varying tower heights.

The wind turbines will be delivered to three different sites: Rosenskog (17.8 MW), Dållebo (26.4 MW), and Boarp (24.2 MW), all located in southern Sweden close to Jönköping. Installation is scheduled for 2023, and all three projects will be covered by a 15-year service agreement.

Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus, said: “At Eolus, we are delighted to work with Siemens Gamesa and to use the 5.X platform to optimise production in these projects. Both in terms of installed capacity and rotor diameter, these will be the largest wind turbines Eolus has used to date.”
