Siemens Gamesa to supply turbines for 242 MW onshore wind farms in Sweden

Siemens Gamesa is set to supply 39 of its market leading SG 5.8-170 turbines to two sites totaling 242 MW in Sweden dubbed the ‘Twin Peaks’. 

The turbines will be split between 25 at the Ranasjö (155 MW) site and 14 at the Salsjö (86.8 MW) location, both around 15km apart in central Sweden. They are due to be commissioned by the first quarter of 2024 and will be covered by a service agreement of 30 years. The turbines will have a nominal capacity of 6.2 MW and are among the most competitive in the onshore industry, powered in this case by a 170-meter rotor. 

Clark MacFarlane, CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s Northern European business, said: “This is the second contract we have concluded with the Swedish developer Arise for the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform, so it is encouraging to build on this partnership. We will supply the Twin Peaks project with turbines offering one the most competitive LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) out there, and will assure performance through the service contract over the turbines’ life”. 

The deal is financed by funds managed by London-based investment company InfraRed Capital Partners, namely The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) and InfraRed’s European Infrastructure Income Fund 4.
