Siemens Energy has received another large onshore wind order in the U.S. Following successful completion of its 593.4MW wind projects in Iowa in 2011, MidAmerican Energy Co., headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, is again partnering with Siemens on its 407.1MW wind project expansion in 2012. In November 2011 at the conclusion of a competitive tender process, MidAmerican Energy and Siemens entered into a turbine supply agreement for an additional 176 wind turbines to be constructed at three sites in Iowa. Each turbine is capable of producing 2.3MW of energy. Siemens will provide SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines for MidAmerican Energy’s recently announced 103.5MW Vienna wind project, which is expected to be located in Marshall and Tama counties; 200.1MW Eclipse wind project, located in Guthrie and Audubon counties; and 101.2MW Morning Light wind project, located in Adair County. The contract includes a five-year service, maintenance and warranty agreement. Siemens also will provide one additional 2.3MW wind turbine.
