Siemens has signed a framework agreement with German developer Ventotec for the supply of at least 200 direct-drive wind turbines.
The machines will be deployed a several current and upcoming onshore projects planned by Ventotec in the German states of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg and Thuringia.
Siemens will supply at least 35 units a year, enabling about 40 new wind farms to be built over the next eight years. The deal also includes a 20-year full-scope maintenance agreement.
Ventotec joint managing directors Helmer Stecker and Ralf Heinen said: “This framework agreement allows us to implement our projects within short planning lead times, and gives us continuous access to optimally adapted wind turbines.”
