Introduction:

Siemens Gamesa and renewable energy developer Capital Energy have strengthened their relationship following a new agreement for the installation of a 52-MW wind project in the province of Albacete, in the southeast of Spain.

Features:

The wind farm will be equipped with 10 SG 5.0-145 wind turbines, which will operate at a nominal capacity of 5.2 MW, a model well-suited for sites with medium-level wind speeds.

The La Herrada wind power plant, the second to be signed by Siemens Gamesa and Capital Energy, is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2024. The agreement also includes the maintenance of the wind turbines for a period of 20 years.

The energy that this wind power plant will produce will help to avoid the emission of 140,000 metric tons of CO2 a year, the equivalent to the emissions of around 80,000 vehicles. To achieve these CO2 savings, 2.2 million trees would need to be planted. In addition, it will provide enough electricity to power 41,000 households.

The 10 nacelles of these wind turbines will be assembled at the Ágreda plant in Spain, and the gearboxes and the electrical components will be produced at several other Siemens Gamesa factories also located in Spain.
