Siemens today said it bagged an order from Pattern Energy Group to supply and install SWT-2.3-108 87 wind turbines for the Logan’s Gap Wind project in the US.
The 200-MW project, located in Comanche County, Texas, will create clean energy to power 50,000 homes in Texas annually.
Siemens did not disclose the size of the deal.
The wind turbines have a power rating of 2.3 megawatts (MW). Siemens will start the installation of the wind turbines at the Logan’s Gap project this year, while operations are expected from autumn 2015. Siemens, as per a service and maintenance agreement, will also ensure the optimization of the turbines as well.
Logan’s Gap, located near the Dallas-Fort Worth area, is the fourth wind project in Texas owned by Pattern Energy Group. Siemens has already supplied more than 1,200 turbines in this state.
Logan’s Gap represents the 12th project between Siemens and Pattern Development in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and South America.
Siemens will assemble the nacelles for the project at its facility in Hutchinson, Kansas. The company will manufacture blades with a length of 53 meters at the Siemens blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa.
