May 5 (Renewables Now) - Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA's (BME:SGRE) 14-MW turbines are set to be used for the entire 1,044-MW Hai Long offshore wind farm in Taiwan after an expansion of its preferred supplier agreement with the developer.
The Hai Long development comprises three projects -- the 300-MW Hai Long 2A, 232-MW Hai Long 2B and 512-MW Hai Long 3. Siemens Gamesa was announced as preferred supplier for Hai Long 2A in November 2019 and the deal has now been expanded to cover the other two projects as well.
Hai Long is owned by Canada-based Northland Power Inc (TSE:NPI) with a 60% stake and Taiwan-based Yushan Energy Co Ltd, which is jointly owned by Yushan Energy Pte Ltd of Singapore and Japanese trader Mitsui & Co Ltd (TYO:8031).
The preferred supplier agreement for turbine delivery and service for the full project is subject to contract and final investment decision from the Hai Long partners, which is expected next year.
Siemens Gamesa is currently building a nacelle assembly facility in Taichung, Taiwan. Following the recent conditional approval of Hai Long 2A's Industrial Relevance Proposal it plans to expand the factory in 2022, if there is a final investment decision by the project partners.
"Our selection of Siemens Gamesa as preferred supplier of WTGs for Hai Long 2A was always based on their outstanding localization proposition," said Hai Long Offshore Wind's project director Felipe Montero. "Expanding our agreement with Siemens Gamesa should create strong synergies to support Siemens Gamesa’s localization efforts, helping us meet our commitments for Hai Long 2A and creating additional localization opportunities for Hai Long 2B and Hai Long 3," Montero added.
