Siemens Energy has won a contract to provide eight turbines for Klixbüll community wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein.
The wind turbines, featuring direct drive technology and 3 megawatts (MW) capacity, will be installed at the onshore project close to the coast of the North Sea near the Danish border.
The fully citizen-owned Zweite Klixbüller Energie GmbH & Co. KG with the new wind farm extends the locally installed capacity by 24 MW up to 39 MW till autumn, the company said.
Six SWT-3.6-107 turbines have been in operation at the windy site in the region of Nordfriesland. Two of them are the basis of the first community wind farm of Klixbüll commissioned in 2006. Another eight SWT-3.0-113 wind turbines with a rotor diameter of 113 meters and a capacity of 3 MW will not only more than double the total capacity, but also provide technological features that will make the project even more profitable.
Once the installation will be completed this fall, the wind farm will contribute to the energy transition even in the case of complete wind calm, the company said.
Wind power and energy service are part of Siemens’ Environmental Portfolio. Around 43 percent of its total revenue stems from green products and solutions, Siemens said.
