Siemens Gamesa has been selected to supply 28 of its G132-3.465MW turbines to the Arauco wind complex in La Rioja, Argentina.
The deal for the third and fourth phases totals 97MW and marks the South American debut of the turbine model for state-led developer Arauco Sapem.
Delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018 with full commissioning of the wind farm due around the end of next year.
Siemens Gamesa said the order “reinforces our position in a market that presents tremendous upside in wind power”.
Towers will be made in Argentina as part of a commitment to the local supply chain, it added.
The deal is the second in Argentina this year, with Siemens Gamesa already supplying Arauco 1&2.
