Siemens has won a contract from Blue Energy to supply 23 turbines at the 53MW Blackcraig Hill onshore wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.
The company will supply 23 SWT-2.3-93 turbines. The contract also includes a 20-year service agreement for the project that is scheduled to be commissioned in the spring of 2017.
Siemens and Blue Energy have previously worked together on the 21MW Middlewick project on the Dengie peninsula in Essex completed in 2014.
Blue Energy chief executive Christopher Dean said: “We are delighted to be working with Siemens again. Both the proven performance of the G2 platform and the specific characteristics of the site itself made the SWT-2.3-93 the clear choice for us.”
“Wind energy makes a significant contribution not only to a clean energy supply in Scotland but also to the local economies,” said Siemens Wind chief executive Thomas Richterich.
