Senvion has announced the achievement of its second firm contract in Argentina, bringing its total firm contracted capacity in the country to over 120MW. The signature seals the deal for the delivery of six Senvion 3.4M114 NES and one 3.6M114 NES turbines, totaling 24MW, to the Kosten wind farm developed by Grenergy Renovables.
The turbines will be installed at a hub height of 93 meters. They have been specifically adapted to the Kosten site which experiences frequent wind peaks. A soft cut-out mechanism optimises their power curve under these conditions. Senvion helped secure financing for the Kosten project, which is located in Chubut, a province in Patagonian Argentina between the Andes Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. It will be built by Senvion on a full EPC basis and operated under a long-term Integrated Service Package (ISP) of minimum 10 years. Completion of the wind farm is planned for spring 2019.
