Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has secured orders for the supply of 39 onshore wind turbines in France, with a total capacity of 104 MW, at five wind farms being developed in the regions of Hauts de France, Grand Est, Burgundy and in Western France.
Siemens Gamesa has been selected to supply, transport and install 11 of its SWT-3.2-113 turbines (35.2 MW) for Innovent’s Eplessier project in Hauts de France. These turbines will be delivered the third quarter of 2018. In addition, the company will deliver another 11 SWT-3.2-113 turbines for the ENGIE Green’s Les Monts projects in the Grand Est region. The company will maintain both projects for 20 years.

“These orders demonstrate Siemens Gamesa’s ability to respond to its customers’ constraints and its capability to deliver tailor-made projects taking into account the wide variety of site characteristics and product demand. Siemens Gamesa wants to become a strong contributor to the energy model transition underway in France through the excellence, quality, and guarantees offered by its products and services” said Enrique Pedrosa, CEO for Siemens Gamesa’s Onshore Business in South Europe and Africa.
