Senvion signs wind order for over 300 MW in Australia

By Michelle Froese | February 21, 2017

Senvion, a global manufacturer of wind turbines, has signed a conditional contract with Nexif Energy for the EPC contracts and maintenance agreements for two wind farms: the 25-turbine Glen Innes Wind Farm in New South Wales and the 59-turbine Lincoln Gap Wind Farm in South Australia.

Combined, the Australian wind projects will deliver over 300 MW of clean, renewable energy to local consumers.

Both wind farms will see the introduction of the new Senvion 3.6M140 turbine into the Australian market.

“We are particularly happy to announce this contract with Nexif Energy, only a short time after being selected as single preferred supplier,” said Jürgen Geissinger, CEO of Senvion. “This highlights the strong product fit Senvion can provide for Australian projects. We are very much looking forward to further building on our partnership with Nexif Energy.”

Compared to its predecessor, the energy yield has been increased by up to 20% at wind speeds of 7.5 m/s, and the lifetime has been extended by 25% from 20 to 25 years.

“The 3.6M140 turbine is particularly well suited to the Australian market delivering exceptional value to our customers,” said Raymond Gilfedder, CEO and Managing Director of Senvion Australia. Improvements to the blades have resulted in lower sound in all operating modes.

Since commencing operations in Australia in 2002, Senvion has installed 218 wind turbines from across the Senvion two megawatt series with a cumulated rated power of over 440 MW in Australia.

“The next few years will be a busy time for the wind industry in Australia,” added Gilfedder. “Senvion is in an excellent position to contribute to Australia’s clean energy future with a great range of turbines and an experienced and professional team.”
