Siemens Gamesa Wins 165 MW Order in Vietnam

The wind turbine manufacturer secures its fourth nearshore project in Vietnam with the order for the Tan Thuan wind farm. And there is a second order for the Thai Hoa wind farm. A total of 36 units of its SG 5.0-145 turbine with flexible power rating will be supplied for the two projects following the company’s largest order in Vietnam announced in March for 113 MW, helping to cement its market leading position.

Siemens Gamesa will also provide operation and maintenance services for 10 years and 20 years respectively for the two projects.

The two deals also mark the first-ever cooperation Siemens Gamesa has concluded with Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 2 of Vietnam and Pacific Corporation. Following expected commissioning in mid-2021, they will generate enough electricity to power the demands of more than 350,000 Vietnamese and help alleviate power shortage in the country.

“We’re pleased to see the Siemens Gamesa 4.X platform gaining a great deal of traction in Vietnam from the debut for our first nearshore project to the recent largest order and the combined 165 MW for two deals we are announcing today,” said Enrique Pedrosa, Chief Regions Officer of Siemens Gamesa’s Onshore business unit. “We have been able to win trust from existing and many new customers thanks to our product innovation and a growing local team on the ground with strong project execution and servicing capabilities. We are committed to introducing our latest products and technology to Vietnam and partnering with customers to unlock the potential of renewables in Vietnam and Asia Pacific,” he added.
