The project will generate enough energy to power 50,000 homes annually and will incorporate SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines with a power rating of 2.3 MW. Installation at the site is expected to begin this year with the start of operations scheduled for autumn 2015. A service and maintenance agreement has been signed as part of the contract.
This is the fourth project in Texas owned by Pattern Energy Group (Pattern Development). Once installed, the wind turbines at Logans Gap will form part of more 1,200 installed by Siemens in Texas. The project represents the 12th collaboration between Siemens and Pattern Development, with other projects in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and South America.
The nacelles for the turbines will be assembled at the Siemens facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, while the blades will be manufactured at the Siemens blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa.
Pattern Development is an important and trusted customer with a proven ability to deliver clean renewable energy projects, according to Markus Tacke, CEO of Siemens Wind Power and Renewables Division.
