The company has also secured a service and maintenance agreement as part of the deal. NJRCEV is responsible for constructing, owning and operating the wind farm. The Alexander wind project is expected to be in operation in the fall of 2015.
“This order reinforces our commitment to local manufacturing in North America supporting our customers and the entire region,” said Thomas Richterich, CEO Onshore, Siemens Wind Power and Renewables Division.
"This project has a special meaning, as the Alexander wind farm is just up the road from our nacelle assembly plant," Richterich said.
The onshore wind power plant, located 120 miles northwest of Wichita, will produce energy for customers through PPAs.
The project’s 21 SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines are part of Siemens G2 platform of onshore geared products.
The nacelles for the project will be assembled at the Siemens nearby facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, and the blades will be manufactured at the Siemens blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa.
Siemens recently hit the 10 GW installed capacity milestone in the Americas, with its 5,600 installed wind turbines in Canada, the U.S. and South America.
