Siemens Gamesa has been awarded the turbine supply contract for the 242MW Scioto Ridge onshore wind farm in Ohio, by Innogy Renewables US.
The deal includes the supply of 63 3.4-132 and nine 2.6-114 wind turbines for the project, located in in Hardin and Logan counties.
The order also includes a 10-year service and maintenance agreement.
Commissioning of the project, the first Innogy is building on US soil, is expected in the Autumn of 2020.
Siemens Gamesa’s blade factory in Fort Madison, Iowa, and nacelle and hub assembly facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, will provide the 3.4-132 components for the project.
This model has an output of 3.465MW and a rotor diameter of 132 metres, and guarantees high energy production with low noise emission levels.
Innogy Renewables US chief executive Andrew Young said: “Only half a year after the successful acquisition of the more than 2000MW US onshore pipeline and development team from EverPower and Terra Firma, we have now started executing our first US project.”
Young said Scioto Ridge will make a big contribution to the achievement of Ohio’s Renewables targets.
In Ohio, Siemens Gamesa has installed 200 wind turbines across two projects totalling over 400MW.
