Eleven of the turbines will be installed in 2013 and one in 2014.
The contract is part of a 117MW framework agreement signed in October with TuuliWatti – a joint venture between Finnish energy company St1 and national retail cooperative S-Group – to supply five wind farms in the country.
The deal marks a breakthrough for Gamesa for its 4.5MW turbine platform, which features a number of innovations such as a two-part blade, a modular set-up to facilitate the installation process and maintenance, and a nacelle-mounted crane.
