Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform has gathered momentum in Sweden heading into 2021 following the signing of a 62 MW deal to supply two adjacent sites in the Sunne region.
The deal with local utility firm Tekniska verken will cover the supply of 7 SG 5.8-170 turbines at Fryksdalshöjden and 3 of the same turbines at the closeby site of Norra Länsmansberget. These turbines will use a flexible power rating to adjust their nominal power to 6.2 MW, and are expected to be installed by late 2022 and will have a 115-meter hub height.
The deal also includes a up to 30-year service agreement.
“Sweden has proven a major driver to the success of the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform, and we are encouraged to see its rapid roll-out continue in 2021. We also welcome another contract with a key customer in Tekniska verken, with which we will work closely going forward to help develop the region’s renewable capabilities.”
Clark MacFarlane, Siemens Gamesa onshore CEO for Northern Europe.
“Our choice of turbines is based on sustainability in the long term with the least possible impact on the environment. We always strive to create solutions that are beneficial to society, the environment and the economy. Today we are glad to say that the SG 5.8-170 turbine fits our two projects perfectly.”
Tekniska verken i Linköping Vind AB CEO, Henrik Valent.
Siemens Gamesa’s contracts in Sweden for this latest platform also included a huge 372 MW deal in Björnberget, the largest it has signed in the country for the 5.X turbine.
