Gamesa signed two firm orders to supply 290 MW in North America: 100 MW in Mexico and 190 MW in the US.
In the US, Gamesa reached an agreement with EDP Renováveis (EDPR) for the supply of 95 Gamesa’s G114-2.0 MW turbines to the Waverly wind farm in Coffey County, Kansas. The project is part of the framework agreement reached between both companies for the supply of up to 450 MW in the US through 2016.
The turbines are slated for delivery in Q3 2015 and the project is expected to be fully commissioned by the end of the year. These 95 turbines will incorporate Gamesa’s MaxPower package of hardware and software modifications that boost the power output of the turbines from 2.0 MW up to 2.1 MW.
South of the US border in Mexico, Gamesa signed a new contract for the supply of 100 MW of its turbines to a big utility. With this agreement, the company demonstrates its leadership in the country, where it is the largest wind turbine manufacturer, having garnered a market share of over 73%, according to the most recent wind report by BTM Consult.
Under the terms of the contract signed in 2Q 2014, Gamesa will supply and install 50 G97-2.0 MW turbines at a wind farm located in central Mexico. The wind turbines are scheduled for delivery during the Q1 2015 and the wind farm is expected to be commissioned during the last.
