Under the contract, Siemens will also provide remote monitoring and diagnostic services to help strengthen the turbines performance during over their operational life as well as main step up transformer for the project.
The contract scope also includes long-term service and maintenance agreement for the turbines.
The contract comes on heels of a contract awarded to Siemens earlier this year to provide turbines, service and financing for Apex Clean Energy’s Kay wind project in Kay County, Oklahoma.
Featuring Siemens SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines, the 299MW Kay wind project is designed to power approximately 100,000 average US homes annually.
Siemens wind power and renewables division onshore CEO Thomas Richterich said: "With this second order in one year, Apex Clean Energy continues our successful collaboration.
"We are proud to meet the customers demand with our full spectrum of resources including equipment, service and financing."
Siemens will assemble the nacelles for the Grant wind project at its facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, while the blades will be manufactured at its blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa, US.
The company is scheduled to commence turbines installation in October 2015 while the power plant is planned to be commissioned in the spring of 2016.
Siemens Financial Services will provide $50m construction financing for the project, which is expected to create electricity required to power approximately 50,000 average US homes.
The wind power project will comprise Siemens SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines, each with 2.3MW power generating capacity and 53-meter blades.
The SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines are part of Siemens G2 platform of onshore geared products which have exceptional reliability and low operational costs, the company said.
