Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Gamesa has won a contract to supply 54MW of turbines to the San Lorenzo windfarm being built by Japan’s Kanematsu Corporation on Guimaras Island in the Philippines for Trans Asia Renewable Energy.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gamesa will handle the supply, assembly and commissioning of 27 of its G90-2.0 MW turbines at the facility.
In addition, the firm will maintain the windfarm for six years, with option for renewal. The turbines are slated for delivery and commissioning over next year and the project is expected to be fully commissioned by the end of next year.
By entering this new market, Gamesa is consolidating its presence in Asia, where it is already active in several countries (China, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan and South Korea) in its capacity as both technology provider – supplying and maintaining wind turbines – and windfarm developer.
In total, the company has installed 2,655MW of its turbines in the region, while it maintains a further 2,700MW and has developed 1,200MW in Asia.
