The first of Siemens Gamesa’s new wind turbines will be installed on the island of Thyholm, close to the Limfjorden fjord in Denmark.
The three SG 5.0-132 model machines will be installed at the 15MW repowered Torp Vindmoellepark wind farm, which is the second project in Denmark to be operated without subsidies.
The installation of the turbines at Torp Vindmoellepark will begin in late summer 2020.
Besides delivery and installation of the wind turbines, Siemens Gamesa will also service and maintain the wind farm for the next 25 years.
Siemens Gamesa has entered into a contract with Torp Vind I/S for the delivery of three wind turbines of the new SG 5.0-132 model for Torp Vindmoellepark in the municipality of Struer.
Carl Lyngs from Torp Vind I/S said: “We will exchange our three old Bonus wind turbines, from 1999.
“They have always worked well and with the high wind we have in this area we expect the new wind turbines to give us good production. The private owners of Torp Vind I/S are local farmers and the support of the local community is extremely important to them.
“This wind farm is deeply rooted in the local community and I am very happy for all the positive statements from our neighbours.”
Siemens Gamesa sales director Mikael Nielsen said: “We are happy that Torp Vind has renewed our long-standing partnership by choosing our new SG 5.0-132, which is specifically designed for high-wind sites.
“We have recently introduced this type of wind turbine on the market and are happy that the first order has come from Denmark, as Denmark is one of the markets the product was developed to serve.
“The order shows that our product helps to secure a positive business case for our customers without public subsidies.”
