Siemens Gamesa secures 72-MW wind turbine order in Indonesia

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA (BME:GAM) said today that Asia-Pacific-focused power producer Equis Energy has ordered gearless turbines for its 72-MW Tolo 1 wind project in Indonesia.

The newly-secured order calls for Siemens Gamesa to supply 20 units of its SWT-3.6-130 direct-drive turbines for installation in Jeneponto on the south-coast of the central Indonesian island Sulawesi. The company got five-year contracts with Equis Energy covering engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) as well as operations and maintenance (O&M).

Siemens Gamesa will work with PT PP (Persero) Tbk on the installation, which is expected in late 2017. Commissioning is planned for early next year.

This is Siemens Gamesa’s second order in Indonesia following the one involving the 75-MW Sidrap wind farm, unveiled earlier in 2017. However, it is the first local deal for gearless SWT-3.6-130 machines, the company said.
