Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has reached a contract to supply six SG 3.4-132 wind turbines with a flexible power rating of 3.65 MW to a wind farm project in Inner Mongolia, China.
The project is developed by the State Power Investment Corporate (SPIC) of China, and it is the first order SGRE received from SPIC, said a statement.
The order also marks the first landing of Siemens Gamesa 3.X platform model in China, and commissioning is expected in August 2019. Siemens Gamesa will also be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the turbines for five years, and 6-20 years warranty for major components.
The project, located in Holingola, Tongliao city, is designed as a continuation of a circular economy demonstration project with generated electricity to be self-used by an electrolytic aluminum plant of SPIC. The demonstration project maximizes the use of local resources, including wind, coal, water and heating, etc.
The latest wind project is also expected to gather wind farm performance data for a planned 6 GW wind power base of SPIC that has been approved to establish in Inner Mongolia.
