Siemens Gamesa has won a 75MW turbine order for a wind project in South Korea, being developed by SK D&D.
Siemens Gamesa will supply 15 units of its SG 5.0-145 turbine for South Korea’s third largest wind farm, Gunwi.
Gunwi is expected to be commissioned in 2024.
Located in Gunwi-gun, in Kyongsangbuk-do province, the wind farm’s SG 5.0-145 turbines will “best utilise” the wind resources from a mountainous area.
To optimise the wind farm’s performance, Siemens Gamesa also signed a long-term service agreement of 20 years to provide operation and maintenance services.
Operating as a subsidiary of South Korea’s leading conglomerate SK Group, SK D&D has been increasing its investment in the renewables market to fulfil its ESG commitments, including a partnership with Siemens Gamesa since 2014 to develop two wind power projects totalling 84MW.
Siemens Gamesa has installed more than 11GW of onshore turbines in China, Pakistan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.
