| Siemens to supply turbines for wind farms in Poland Siemens has received orders for the supply of wind turbines for sites in Poland for the first time. RWE Innogy, the new renewable energy unit established by the German utility RWE, has ordered 33 units from Siemens, each with a capacity of 2.3 megawatts (MW). These wind turbines are to be installed at the projects Suwalki in Masuria and Tychowo in Western Pomerania and are scheduled to commence operation by autumn 2009. The total order volume for Siemens amounts to approximately EUR 100 million. Poland ranks among Europe's most promising wind energy markets. Estimates by the Polish Wind Energy Association (PWEA) indicate that over 13,000 MW of wind power generating capacity could be installed in Poland by 2020. Wind turbines that feed power into the Polish grid today have a modest total capacity of less than 300 MW, despite the outstanding wind conditions prevailing in large sections of the country. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
