Siemens supplies 100 MW of wind turbines to Morocco
http://www.reinforcedplastics.com/view/23560/siemens-supplies-100-mw-of-wind-turbines-to-morocco/Siemens Energy has secured its first wind turbine orders in Africa, with a total of 100 MW to Nareva Holding for the Haouma and Foum El Oued Wind Power Plants in Morocco.
Both wind farms are expected to commence commercial operation by summer 2013.
"These two orders mark Siemens Wind Power´s entry on the African wind market and clearly show that our internationalisation strategy is successful," says Felix Ferlemann, CEO of the Siemens Wind Power Division.
The Haouma Wind Farm project will be built in Northern Morocco, approximately 30 km east of Tangier, and 6 km south of the Mediterranean coast. At 50 MW, Haouma will feature 22 Siemens SWT-2.3-93 wind turbines.
