Siemens to deliver 12 wind turbines to France

Siemens Energy has received its first order from Volkswind to supply 12 wind turbines for a wind farm in France. The German based purchaser Volkswind is one of the major wind project developers in France. With an installed capacity of 27.6 megawatts (MW), the wind farm Val de Noye, which is to be built 30 kilometers south of Amiens, will be operational by mid 2009. The Siemens scope includes the supply, erection, and installation of the 12 units, each with a capacity of 2.3 MW. This contract also includes a five year service agreement.

The Val de Noye wind farm will produce enough electricity to supply more than 12,000 households. This new project will increase the wind turbine capacity installed by Siemens Energy in France to approximately 250 MW.
