Siemens Gamesa and Greenalia score Spanish hat-trick

The three wind farms will have a capacity of 110 MW and will be equipped with 22 SG 5.0-145 turbines, one of the company's most powerful models, and well suited for sites with medium level wind speeds. The wind farms called Campelo, Bustelo and Monte Toural are located in the municipalities of Coristanco, Santa Comba and Carballo. They are scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2023, Siemens Gamesa announced. The company also signed a service contract of 25 years.

“This agreement for three parks helps to strengthen our relationship with Greenalia, and I am sure this partnership will grow further in the years ahead. It’s also good news because it helps to increase our footprint in Spain, a key market for Siemens Gamesa which holds great prospects. We are ready to support the country’s growth in renewables and its energy transition path,” said Paulo Soares, CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s Southern European, African and Latin American operations.

The energy produced by these wind farms will help to avoid the emission of almost 300,000 tonnes of CO2 a year and provide enough electricity to power close to 90,000 households.
