As per the order, the company will supply turbines with a capacity of 4MW and a rotor diameter of 130 meters each to the 600MW project..
Scope of the order also includes a provision of service and maintenance for the project for a period of 15 years.
The total construction budget for the Gemini wind power project is estimated to be around €3bn.
With a 2.6TWh of electricity generation capacity per year, the wind power plant will supply clean energy for one and a half million people after being fully commissioned.
The amount of energy is said to be equivalent to a reduction in the emission of CO2 by 1,25 million tons per year.
According to Siemens, a helicopter will be available for a project at all times and a specially designed, purpose-built service operation vessel (SOV) will be based at the wind farm.
Siemens Energy Services CEO Randy Zwirn said, "Wind energy is becoming increasingly important to the world’s energy mix."
"Therefore wind turbines need to operate at optimum levels over their entire service life," Zwirn added.
"This record achievement for our offshore wind service business underscores confidence in the highly advanced and innovative service logistics concept we created for Gemini, which is a direct result of the significant investments we make in R&D and the years of experience we have as the world’s leading offshore service provider."
