Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has been awarded another order by EDF Renewables to supply 30 SG 4.5-145 and 36 SG 2.7-129 wind turbines for the 232 MW Milligan wind project, located in Milligan County, Nebraska, USA. This project marks 1 GW of SG 4.5-145 wind turbines sold world-wide. The contract also includes a service and maintenance agreement for Siemens Gamesa’s premium maintenance programme. Project completion is expected for the end of 2020.

José Antonio Miranda, CEO of Onshore Americas at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, said: “EDF Renewables is a very strong partner for us, and we are glad to be working with them on a number of projects like Milligan and the recently announced Coyote and Oso Grande wind projects. This order again evidences our customer’s confidence in Siemens Gamesa and our technology.”

Art Del Rio, Vice President of Wind Technology Strategy at EDF Renewables North America, said: “The Milligan project marks the third order for EDF Renewables North America to deploy the SG 4.5-145 in 2020. The strength of the partnership between Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and EDF Renewables continues to grow with the execution of another turbine supply agreement for LCoE leading technology.”

The SG 4.5-145 offers a flexible power rating from 4.2 MW to 4.8 MW depending on site conditions, and has a rotor diameter of 145 metres. It is optimised for medium-wind onshore locations to maximise energy production with low noise emission levels.
