Siemens Gamessa has secured a wind turbine order of its 5.X platform for the Knostad wind project in Sweden.
The company will deliver eight units of the SG 5.8-170 to Danish developer and wind turbine operator Eurowind Energy A/S for the Knöstad project (46 MW) located near Karlstad, in Sweden.
The turbines will operate at a capacity of up to 6.2 MW, resulting in record-high annual energy production (AEP). Siemens Gamesa has also secured a 25-year full-service agreement.
The wind turbines will be installed during the second half of 2021 in an area of forest. They will have a 115-meter hub height tower, meeting the maximum height permitted even with the turbine’s large rotor size. The SG 5.8-170 is ideally suited to optimize energy production from the low to medium-high wind speeds found on site.
