Enel has confirmed an order for 201MW of wind turbines with Siemens Gamesa for the Kola wind farm in Murmansk, Russia.
The order is for the supply, installation and commissioning of 57 turbines from the Siemens Gamesa 3.X platform.
Full scope operations and maintenance services during the first two years with an option to extend are also included.
The Kola project is due to be commissioned in 2021.

Siemens Gamesa onshore north Europe and Middle East region chief executive Steven Pryor said: “We are proud to announce this second big contract in Russia and to continue the successful cooperation with Enel.
“Siemens Gamesa is well under way to establishing a strong position in the growing Russian renewables market. We have introduced modern technology and we have taken important steps to ensure local content requirements.”
