Wind OEM Siemens Gamesa has reached an agreement to implement its life extension programme to the entire 237.5MW fleet of an unnamed Spanish client

The programme consists of monitoring and structural upgrades that can prolong the availability of wind turbines by 10 years for the 264 wind turbines located at six wind farms in Spain’s Aragon region.

“Our company has been in charge of the maintenance of these turbines since they were installed and we will now implement enhancements to extend their useful life until year 30, adding ten years of income,” said John Paul Larrañeta, service chief executive at SGRE’s Southern Europe and Africa region.
