Siemens has secured an order from Apex Clean Energy to supply and service 64 turbines for the Grant Plains Wind facility in Grant County, Oklahoma.

The 147MW project is expected to be in operation later this year.

Siemens has completed two orders for the company in the last year, one for the Grant Wind facility and the other for the Kay Wind plant. Both of these projects are owned by Southern Company's subsidiary Southern Power.

Siemens' windpower and renewables division onshore Americas CEO Jacob Andersen said: “We are very pleased to receive an additional order from Apex Clean Energy to supply turbines and service in Oklahoma, strengthening the state’s national leadership in wind energy."

The facility will feature Siemens’ SWT-2.3-108 turbines, with a rotor diameter of 108m and a hub height of 80m. These are part of the G2 platform of onshore-geared products.
