Siemens Gamesa also signed a service agreement for the wind turbines with RWE.

Katja Wünschel,  CEO onshore wind and solar Europe & Australia, RWE Renewables, stated: “Europe needs more wind power. And fast. We are making our contribution and resolutely driving forward the energy transition.

“With this contract, RWE has secured fixed delivery dates and a structured price settlement for a gigawatt volume. This means the supply chain for major large-scale components of new onshore wind farms in Europe is already in place.”
