Siemens Gamesa signs service agreement for 2.6 GW Offshore wind farm in USA

Siemens Gamesa has signed an agreement with Dominion Energy for delivery of offshore wind turbines and 10-years of service at its 2.6-GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind commercial project. 

An agreement has been reached planning to use 176 units of the world’s largest offshore wind turbine in operation, the SG 14-222 DD, and for an expected 10-year Service agreement. The agreement is subject to customary conditions, including required governmental permitting.

All items are anticipated to be closed by Q1 2023. Installation of the wind project is expected to begin in 2024 and its commercial operation is scheduled by 2026.

Once online, the project is expected to provide enough clean energy to power up to 660,000 homes at rated wind speed, avoiding more than 5 million tons per year of carbon emissions compared to fossil fuel-based power generation.
