Siemens Gamesa to supply 281-megawatt Nordlicht onshore wind project in Norway

摘要

With a diversified investor's base and highly efficient direct-drive wind turbines, the Norwegian onshore wind power project "Nordlicht" is currently one of Europe's largest and most innovative developments in renewable energy. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has received an order for the supply and installation of 67 units of its recently upgraded OptimaFlex wind turbine type SWT-DD-130. The project site is located west of the city of Tromsø in northern Norway on two neighboring mountains. On Kvitfjell 47 units will be installed, and another 20 units will be installed on Raudfjell. The turbines are rated at 4.2 megawatts and are expected to provide an overall capacity of 281.4 megawatts. A service and maintenance agreement was also signed, covering service and maintenance for an extended turbine lifetime.
