Siemens Gamesa has won its first wind turbine order in Ethiopia, as the African country enters what is expected to be a renewable energy boom.
The OEM is slated to supply 29 of its SG 3.4-132 machines to state-owned utility Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) for its 100MW Assela project, at some 150km south of the capital Addis Ababa.
The wind farm is planned to be commissioned by the spring of 2023, and will help power 400,000 Ethiopian households.
