Siemens Gamesa sells more than 1GW of its 2.5MW turbines

The Spain-based wind turbine manufacturer, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, has sold more than 1GW worth of its SG4.5-145 turbine.

The firm reached the milestone following a recent deal that will see it supply turbines to a 232MW wind farm in Nebraska, US.

Siemens Gamesa will manufacture 30 of its 4.5MW turbines for the farm, as well as 36 of its SG2.7-129 turbines.

The Milligan energy farm, which is owned by EDF, is located in the south east of the state.

Under the agreement to supply the 66 turbines, the manufacturer has also signed a service and maintenance contract.
