Siemens Gamesa and Repsol have signed two new contracts to supply 200MW worth of onshore turbines for six Spanish wind farms.
The deal will see Siemens Gamesa supply a total of 40 of its SG 5.0-145 turbines.
The first of the two contracts includes four wind farms in the province of Palencia, part of Repsol’s Pi project. These will use 28 wind turbines with a total capacity of 140MW.
The second contract will involve the installation of two wind farms in the province of Zaragoza, as part of Repsol’s Delta II project. In this case, 12 onshore turbines totalling 60MW will be installed. The two contracts include the maintenance of the six wind farms for a period of five years.
Following this agreement, Repsol will have eight wind farms employing Siemens Gamesa technology, reaching a total of 324MW.
“This important agreement reached with Repsol allows us to strengthen our relationship with one of the most committed companies in Spain with renewable energies and supports the necessary boost to the sector in our country,” said Kerman Gabiola, Managing Director of Siemens Gamesa in Spain.
“Our aim is to continue working side by side with our customers to advance the growth of wind energy in Spain, which will help promote a green transition and further the cause of energy independence.”
Enrique Pedrosa, COO for Europe and Latam at Repsol Low Carbon Generation added: “This new agreement with Siemens Gamesa allows us to continue progressing towards our ambitious goal of reaching 6GW of installed renewable capacity by 2025 and 20GW by 2030.
“Renewable energies are key to Repsol’s decarbonisation strategy, which has set itself the challenge of becoming zero net emissions by 2050.”
