The new wind order reinforces Siemens Gamesa’s presence in one of the world’s biggest wind-power markets, and has established itself as one of the top foreign OEMs.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has secured an agreement for the supply of 300 MW in China, one of its largest ever in this market. The company will supply and commission 150, G114-2.0 MW turbines for the Xilinhot complex and service them under a long-term O&M agreement.
The plan is for installation of the first turbines to begin in the second quarter of 2018 and for the complex, which is being built in Inner Mongolia, to be up and running by the end of next year.
“With this significant order, the company has achieved a new milestone in its strategy in China where it has already installed over 4.6 GW,” underscored Álvaro Bilbao, CEO of Siemens Gamesa in Asia Pacific.
In addition to China, Siemens Gamesa’s Asian footprint extends to Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, having installed over 6.3 GW in these markets. Adding on the 5 GW installed to date in India puts the company’s installed base in the continent of Asia at over 11.3 GW.
