Order includes first supply of new direct drive machines for the American market
Aug. 10, 2010 — Siemens announced it has secured an order for 98 wind turbines for the Crossroads wind power project in Oklahoma.
The company will supply 95 units of the SWT-2.3-101 and three units of the new SWT-3.0-101, Siemens’ new gearless direct drive wind turbine.
Construction of the 227.5 megawatts (MW) wind power project will begin in late August, with the first wind turbines being delivered in April, 2011.
Upon completion in the second half of 2011, Crossroads will be able to meet the electrical needs of more than 68,000 homes. This is already the third Siemens wind power plant that will provide clean energy to the project’s owner, Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E).
