Siemens Gamesa is to supply turbines to Eurowind Energy’s 77MW Thorup-Sletten wind farm in Denmark.
The project, which will be the largest onshore wind project in Denmark, will feature 18 machines with an individual output of 4.3MW and 130-metre rotors.
Installation, west of the Aggersund bridge in northwestern Jutland, will start in October.
Siemens Gamesa will also be responsible for service and maintenance of the wind farm for 20 years.
Eurowind Energy chief executive Jens Rasmussen said: “We are proud of being the developer behind the largest onshore project in Denmark.
“This is yet another proof that onshore wind should continue to be an important part of the energy mix to keep Denmark at the forefront when it comes to wind energy.
“We have chosen Siemens Gamesa because we looked around in the market to find a turbine that is both a great match for these very windy conditions and can deliver high product quality and a highly competitive price.
“The upgrade of the turbine from 3.6 to 4.3MW together with the 130-metre rotor was important to get the lowest cost per KWh produced.”
Siemens Gamesa onshore business unit chief executive for North Europe and Middle East Steven Pryor said: “Of course it means a lot to us to win this bid from Eurowind and to be able to continue driving the transformation to renewables in Denmark.
“We are constantly working to offer innovation, technology and solutions tailored to the needs of the individual customer.”
