Danish turbine component manufacturer Valmont SM has entered into a supply agreement with Siemens Gamesa to provide components for the latter’s next-generation offshore wind turbines.
The deal, worth $209m, is for rotor houses and is the single largest in Valmont SM’s history.
Production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The turbine company will be able to source locally-produced renewable energy components in close proximity to its supply chain needs under the deal, said the supply chain outfit.
“We have worked closely with SGRE for many years and this agreement is a natural extension of our strong relationship,” said Niels Brix, head of Valmont SM.
“The scope of this order emphasizes SGRE’s significant pipeline of offshore wind projects in Europe. We consider this partnership to be a very important collaboration in supporting the green energy transition throughout the region.”
“Valmont and SGRE are a perfect match for the long-term cross-functional
development of rotor houses for the offshore wind industry,” said Mark Don Hansen, Global Commodity Manager at Siemens Gamesa.
