Siemens Gamesa signs two contracts for wind farms in Spain

Siemens Gamesa has signed two new contracts that will strengthen its market position in Spain, where it currently has nearly 15 GW installed, 53% of the country's total capacity. The manufacturer signed a contract with Grupo Jorge to supply seven SG 5.0-145 wind turbines for a wind farm in Herrera de los Navarros (Zaragoza) and another contract, with a different customer, to supply ten turbines of the same model, also in the province of Zaragoza. The two contracts total 17 turbines and a capacity of 85 MW.

The Herrera de los Navarros wind farm is scheduled to come into operation in the second half of 2022 and the contract includes the maintenance of the turbines for a period of 15 years. The other wind farm will start operations in the first half of 2022 and includes maintenance of the wind turbines for 20 years.

This new project will also boost the activity of Siemens Gamesa's Spanish suppliers, which will be involved in the production of various components. In 2020, Siemens Gamesa's purchases from Spanish companies amounted to €1,253 million, 4% more than the previous year.
