SPAIN -- The agreement also includes the maintenance of the turbines for a period of 25 years.

Siemens Gamesa and independent power producer Greenalia have recently announced that they will be collaborating on a large renewable energy project. The project includes the installation and maintenance of a hat-trick of wind farms in the province of A Coruña, for a total capacity of 110MW. The three wind farms will be equipped with one of Siemens Gamesa's most powerful turbines, and well suited for sites with medium-level wind speeds.


According to both companies, the wind farms, Campelo, Bustelo, and Monte Toural, located in the municipalities of Coristanco, Santa Comba, and Carballo are scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2023. The agreement also includes the maintenance of the turbines for a period of 25 years.


"This agreement for three parks helps to strengthen our relationship with Greenalia, and I am sure this partnership will grow further in the years ahead. We are ready to support Spain's growth in renewables and its energy transition path," said Paulo Soares, CEO of Siemens Gamesa's Southern European, African, and Latin American operations.


"The wind farms are a new example of the development of our pipeline in Spain, with which Greenalia wants to be an active part in the process of decarbonization and energy transition in Spain. With these projects we also support the green economy, local employment, and the development of rural areas," said María Moreno, CEO of Greenalia Power Spain.


According to Siemens Gamesa, the three wind farms will provide enough electricity to power close to 90,000 households, or around a quarter of the population of the province of A Coruña and through their green energy production, will help avoid the emission of almost 300,000 tons of CO2 a year, the equivalent to the emissions of around 170,000 vehicles.
