Siemens Gamesa is set to supply turbines to two sites totalling 242MW in Sweden dubbed the ‘Twin Peaks’.
The 39 5.8-170 turbines will be split between 25 at the Ranasjo site and 14 at the Salsjo location, both around 15km apart in central Sweden.
They are due to be commissioned by the first quarter of 2024 and will be covered by a service agreement of 30 years.
The turbines will have a nominal capacity of 6.2MW powered by a 170-metre rotor.
The deals add to sustained momentum for the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform in the Nordics, and in particular in Sweden which has been a fast adopter of this leading technology, the company said.
The deal is financed by funds managed by London-based investment company InfraRed Capital Partners, namely The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) and InfraRed’s European Infrastructure Income Fund 4.
Siemens Gamesa’s Northern European chief executive Clark MacFarlane said: “This is the second contract we have concluded with the Swedish developer Arise for the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform, so it is encouraging to build on this partnership.
“We will supply the Twin Peaks project with turbines offering one the most competitive LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) out there, and will assure performance through the service contract over the turbines’ life.”
In late 2019 Siemens Gamesa signed its first contract for the 5.X platform for the 231MW Skaftaasen project also involving the Swedish developer Arise.
Since then the company has now sold over 2.8GW of the platform to customers from the Nordics to Brazil.
