The company will supply 95 units of the SWT-2.3-101 turbine and three units of its new SWT-3.0-101 gearless direct drive turbine for the power project.
The scope of supply for the wind project includes the delivery, installation and commissioning of all turbines. Siemens will also provide maintenance services for the turbines for an initial period of three and one-half years.
Construction of the project will begin in late August, with the first wind turbines being delivered in April 2011. Upon completion in the second half of 2011, the power project will be able to meet the electrical needs of more than 68,000 average US homes.
Jens-Peter Saul, CEO of Siemens Wind Power Business Unit, said: “This is the first time that the new SWT-3.0-101 direct drive turbine has been sold in the US. Bringing our new generation of direct drive wind turbines to Oklahoma is the first step in establishing this game-changing technology in North America.”
