Siemens has received an order for a total of 50 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 115MW for the El Arrayán wind power plant in Chile.
This wind project will be developed as a joint venture between Pattern Energy and AEI. Furthermore, the mining division of Antofagasta plc, which is the parent company of Minera Los Pelambres, the power offtaker, has purchased an equity stake in the El Arrayán project. The scope of supply encompasses delivery, installation and commissioning of 50 SWT-2.3-101 wind turbines with a power rating of 2,3MW and a rotor diameter of 101 meters, including a five-year service and maintenance contract. Installation of the project is scheduled to begin in spring 2013, with commissioning of the wind power plant planned for early 2014.
