With an installed capacity of 138MW, the wind farm will provide clean power for the Canadian households by the end of 2010.
Siemens will be responsible for supply, technical field assistance for erection, and commissioning of the 60 wind turbines each rated at 2.3MW. Siemens has also signed a two-year service and maintenance agreement.
Siemens has already supplied wind turbines for the Wolfe Island and Port Alma wind farms and also received orders for the Chatham and Gosfield wind projects.
The combined installed capacity of the four wind farms is approximately 440MW.
Wind turbines, that form a part of Siemens’ Environmental Portfolio generated approximately EUR23bn revenue in fiscal 2009 for the company.In the same period, the company’s products and systems enabled customers to reduce their CO2 emissions by 210 million tons.
Rene Umlauft, CEO of the renewable energy division of Siemens Energy, said: ”The Canadian wind power market is very promising. We are expecting it to grow from today 3,400MW to more than 15,000MW in 2020.”
