Siemens Gamesa will focus on the delivery of its 5.X onshore platform with a flexible rated output of 6.6–7MW. It will also supply its 4.X platform.

Siemens Gamesa also signed a service agreement for the wind turbines with RWE.

Katja Wünschel, CEO onshore wind and solar Europe & Australia, RWE Renewables, stated: “Europe needs more wind power. And fast. We are making our contribution and resolutely driving forward the energy transition.

“With this contract, RWE has secured fixed delivery dates and a structured price settlement for a gigawatt volume. This means the supply chain for major large-scale components of new onshore wind farms in Europe is already in place.”

In April 2023, RWE selected Siemens Gamesa for its 1GW Thor wind farm in the Danish North Sea.
