Siemens has signed an agreement to supply 21 sets of wind turbines to a 48-megawatts project in Rush, Kansas in the U.S. developed by NJR Clean Energy Ventures.
Siemens will supply its SWT-2.3-108 turbines to NJR Clean Energy, which is a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources. Siemens will also ensure the turbines operate at optimal levels under a separate agreement. The Alexander wind project is expected to start operating in the fall of 2015.
Siemens recently hit the 10-gigawatts installed capacity milestone in the Americas, with its 5,600 installed wind turbines in Canada, the U.S. and South America. Nearly 5,000 wind turbines are installed in the U.S.
