Siemens Gamesa has entered into an agreement with the independent developer Fuerza y Energía Limpia de Tizimín for the installation over the course of this year of 36 of the firm's G114-2.1 MW turbines at the Tizimín wind farm being developed in the state of Yucatán, which is scheduled for commissioning in 2018.
The agreement also encompasses the operation and maintenance of the turbines for five years. Siemens Gamesa will use a new technique for the foundations, namely braces (a concrete base akin to a plinth). This solution, deployable when a wind farm meets certain conditions, increases the turbines' output by increasing the height of the hub by up to 5 metres.
