MUNICH: German engineering giant Siemens said Thursday it has won a 1.5-billion-euro ($2.0-billion) contract to supply wind turbines to a huge offshore wind park being built off the Dutch coast.
Siemens said in a statement it will deliver 150 wind turbines with a capacity of four megawatt for a wind power plant located in the North Sea, 85 kilometres (53 miles) above the coast of Groningen.
With an installed capacity of 600 megawatt in total, the “Gemini (CDNX: GKX.V – news) ” wind park will yield 2.6 terawatt hours (TWh (Shenzhen: 002512.SZ – news) ) of electricity per year and supply clean energy for one and a half million people after being fully commissioned.
“For Siemens this is the first order for an offshore wind power plant in Dutch waters,” the German company said in a statement.
And the 15-year service and maintenance agreement for the Gemini project “is the largest service order ever for Siemens Energy Service,” the statement said.
