The service contract for onshore wind facilities is the largest for Siemens globally, the company said in a statement.
Siemens power generation services president and CEO Randy Zwirn said: "With nearly 30% of Iowa’s electricity generated by wind energy, the continued reliable energy production coming from this technology is of critical importance to power consumers across the state.
