Introduction:

Siemens Gamesa’s relationship with OX2 continues to grow SG 6.6-170 wind turbine as chosen for their next project

Features:

The Niinimaki project will be located in the Pieksamaki municipality in the Southern Savonia region of the country and will utilize 22 SG 6.6-170 turbines, among the most powerful in the onshore wind landscape. With a hub height of 165 meters, these turbines will capitalize on strong wind speeds found in the region. When operational these wind turbines will provide enough green electricity to power around 100,000 homes.

The deal follows a 70-MW deal for the Riberget project in Sweden signed with OX2 last month, as the two companies collaborate once more to push wind energy forward in the country.

“Our collaboration with OX2 continues to grow in the Nordics with another significant deal in Finland. The country is truly stepping on the accelerator in its drive to promote wind energy and we are pleased to provide leading technology to help meet its ambitions,” said Clark MacFarlane, CEO for Siemens Gamesa’s onshore operation in Northern Europe and the Middle East.

The Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform has now sold over 4.5 GW of sales since its launch, with more than 2 GW coming in this region, highlighting how the Nordic countries once again lead in their early adoption of pioneering renewable technology.
