Siemens Gamesa has secured a 30-year contract to provide full-scope operation and maintenance services for the 226MW Murra Warra wind farm in Australia, which comprises 61 Senvion turbines.
Murra Warra, located in the state of Victoria, consists of 3.7MW machines with 144-metre rotors.
Siemens Gamesa will also take on the project’s electrical balance of the plant for 30 years.
The agreement marks the second order Siemens Gamesa has secured to service Senvion turbines in Australia, following the first to provide 20-year, full-scope operation and maintenance services at a 135MW unnamed wind project also in Victoria.
Siemens Gamesa acquired Senvion’s onshore European service assets and intellectual property in early January, which has expanded the company’s multi-brand service portfolio to more than 10GW globally.
Siemens Gamesa service business unit chief executive Mark Albenze said: “Since the beginning of the Senvion integration, our focus has been on customer proximity and service continuity.
“The acquisition has uniquely positioned us to provide the best operations and maintenance services to the Senvion fleet both inside and outside of Europe.
“Our success in Asia Pacific reflects customers’ trust in our multibrand experience, expertise and a growing dedicated team in Asia Pacific.
“We are committed to delivering the best business case for our customers.”
Siemens Gamesa APAC region service chief executive Joris Mazille said: “We are delighted to have concluded our first-ever cooperation with Partners Group on this project, making this a landmark project in Asia Pacific for Siemens Gamesa.
“We are building on the great foundation the company has built so far and the strategic investment we made to secure an extensive stock of Senvion parts locally to expand our service portfolio and exceed customer expectations.”
