"This order reinforces Siemens’ commitment to local manufacturing in North America, supporting our customers and the entire region."

The firm will assemble nacelles for this project at its Hutchinson facility in Kansas, while the blades will be manufactured at its blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa.

Siemens Wind Power and Renewables Division CEO Onshore Thomas Richterich said: "This order reinforces our commitment to local manufacturing in North America, supporting our customers and the entire region.

"This project has a special meaning, as the Alexander wind farm is just up the road from our nacelle assembly plant."

Recently, Siemens hit the 10GW installed capacity milestone in the Americas, with the installation of 5,600 wind turbines in Canada, the US, and South America.

Approximately 5,000 wind turbines have been installed in the US, which are capable of generating renewable power for more than 2.5 million households every day.
