Siemens Gamesa Secures Another Order in Norway

Siemens Gamesa will supply the onshore wind farm Tonstad with 51 SWT-DD-142 wind turbines next year. The wind farm is located between the municipalities of Sirdal and Flekkefjord in southern Norway. Siemens Gamesa will also receive a full service contract.

"This project shows once more the strength of our global setup. Our experience in the Scandinavian market and our turbines with their compelling track record in the Nordic region ensure the best possible support and value creation for our customer", says Steven Pryor, Onshore CEO for North Europe & Middle East at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.

The energy generated at the Tonstad wind farm will be supplied to the Norwegian aluminium producer Hydro Energi, which has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the next 25 years. The annual production of the wind farm is expected to exceed 0.6 TWh and save almost 526,000 tons of CO2 emissions. This will enable Hydro to produce around 50,000 tonnes of aluminium per year at its Norwegian plants.
