The turbines will generate clean electricity for approximately 240,000 Canadian homes. Siemens will also establish a blade manufacturing site in Canada.
Siemens has been working with Samsung C&T and its development partner Pattern Energy on this first phase of development under Ontario’s Feed-in Tariff program where it has committed to develop 2,000MW of wind power over the next six years.
Jens-Peter Saul, CEO of Siemens Wind Power Business Unit, said: “With this supply agreement we are strengthening our position in the rapidly growing wind power market in Canada.
“Furthermore, by investing in a new blade production facility in Canada, Siemens is pushing further ahead with the regionalization of its wind manufacturing network in important markets.”
