Siemens has won a contract from Blue Energy to supply 23 SWT-2.3-93 turbines at the 53MW Blackcraig Hill onshore wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway, in Scotland.

The contract also includes a 20-year service agreement for the project that is scheduled to be commissioned in the spring of 2017.

Blue Energy chief executive Christopher Dean commented the news :

“We are delighted to be working with Siemens again. Both the proven performance of the G2 platform and the specific characteristics of the site itself made the SWT-2.3-93 the clear choice for us.”

Siemens and Blue Energy have previously worked together on the 21MW Middlewick project on the Dengie peninsula in Essex completed in 2014.
