Siemens Gamesa will supply 25 SWT-2625-120 and 5 SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines to a 77 MW wind farm that is part of MidAmerican Energy's wind XI Project, with an option to add more turbines for a total capacity of 90 MW.

The blades and nacelles will be manufactured in Iowa and Kansas, the blades at Fort Madison in Iowa and the nacelles and hubs at the Hutchinson, Kansas facility. The project includes a five-year service and maintenance agreement and is expected to become commercially operational by December 2018. Siemens Gamesa have been given the option of adding up to 5 additional SWT-2625-120 wind turbines, reaching a total capacity of 90 MW.

MidAmerican Energy announced its Wind XI project in 2016. When complete in 2019, it will add up to 2,000 megawatts of capacity, and produce enough wind energy to power more than 840,000 average homes in Iowa.

Since 2008, the partnership between Siemens Gamesa and MidAmerican Energy have installed over 2.6 GW of wind power capacity in the United States.

“We are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with MidAmerican Energy while contributing to the green energy economy, right in our own backyard” said José Antonio Miranda, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and CEO of Onshore Americas. “This project is another Example of how wind power continues to be a driver for local jobs and environmental sustainability.”

In total, Siemens Gamesa has provided turbines for more than 150 project sites with on output capacity of close to 18 GW in the US, enough energy to power over five million average homes.
