Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has conditionally received a record order for 1714 MW from Ørsted and Eversource. Encompassing three offshore wind power projects, the signed conditional contract is the largest US offshore wind power order to date. It encompasses the supply, delivery, and installation of SG 8.0-167 DD wind turbines including service agreements in federal waters off the northeastern coast of the US. All deliveries are subject to Ørsted and Eversource’s final investment decision.
Siemens Gamesa has been conditionally awarded the contract to deliver offshore wind turbines totalling 880 MW for the Sunrise Wind project, which will be the company’s largest offshore wind project in the US. SG 8.0-167 DD offshore wind turbines will be utilised at the project in federal waters about 50 km off Montauk Point in New York. A service agreement is included. The Sunrise Wind project is expected to be operational in 2024.
Meanwhile, the 704 MW Revolution Wind offshore project will be located 24 km off the coast of Rhode Island. The project will utilise SG 8.0-167 DD wind turbines and is expected to be online by 2023. Once operational, Revolution Wind will deliver power to Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Finally, SGRE was also conditionally awarded the contract to deliver SG 8.0-167 DD offshore wind turbines for the 130 MW South Fork offshore wind power project. Located 56 km off Long Island, New York, it is expected to be operational by the end of 2022 and will deliver power to the Long Island Power Authority.
