Siemens Gamesa will supply up to 955MW of its 8MW turbines to three Danish offshore wind farms after developer Vattenfall placed the largest order in the sector this year.

The manufacturer will equip the Swedish energy group’s Kriegers Flak wind farm in the Baltic Sea, and the Vesterhav Syd and Nord North Sea projects.

Vattenfall will spend almost €1.7bn ($2bn) building the projects, among the largest investments it has made in renewable energy to date.
