Oakville, Ontario: Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy announced February 11 that it will be supplying 45 of its 4.5 megawatt, SG 4.5-145 wind turbines, with flexible rating, to Suncor for the company's Forty Mile wind power project in southern Alberta. The order, signed in December 2019, is for a nominal capacity of 205 MW and includes a maintenance agreement for 20 years.
The agreement takes the total suite of projects for the 45 SG 4.5-145 wind turbine model in Canada to 574 MW, demonstrating its competitiveness and suitability for the market, the company says. This is Siemen’s third order from Suncor.
Once operational in 2021, Suncor's Forty Mile wind power project will provide enough power for more than 100,000 Alberta homes. The turbine's 71-meter blade integrates aerodynamics and noise reduction features.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy counts more than 3,000 MW installed in Canada.
