Under the deal, Siemens will offer service and maintenance for eight MidAmerican Energy wind projects for around ten years. It will also be responsible for four other MidAmerican Energy projects, once those come into operation during the agreement term.

"With nearly 30 percent of Iowa’s electricity generated by wind energy, the continued reliable energy production coming from this technology is of critical importance."

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.

"We look forward to providing our service and maintenance solutions to MidAmerican Energy to help ensure the optimal performance of these wind projects in Iowa over the next ten years."
