Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has secured a new order from Ibereólica Renovables to supply 110 MW capacity for the second phase of Cabo Leones III wind park, in Chile. The company will deliver 22 of its SG 5.0-145 wind turbines and will also operate and maintain them for 10 years.
With this order, Siemens Gamesa becomes the supplier for the entire Cabo Leones cluster, which totals 598.8 MW and is located in Chile’s Atacama Desert. This amounts to 1.5 million tons of carbon emissions avoided, the equivalent of taking nearly 988,000 diesel vehicles off the road annually or growing 24 million trees. The complex will feature a wide range of Siemens Gamesa technologies spanning from 2 MW turbines to the latest Siemens Gamesa 4.X platform.
The Cabo Leones III farm is scheduled to start operations in June 2021, and Siemens Gamesa will complete the delivery of its turbines by December 2020.
