- The first of Siemens Gamesa’s new SG 5.0-132 model of wind turbines will be installed on the island of Thyholm, close to the Limfjorden fjord in Denmark
- The wind turbines will be installed at the Torp Vindmoellepark wind farm, which is the second project in Denmark to be operated without subsidies
Siemens Gamesa has entered into a contract with Torp Vind I/S for the delivery of three wind turbines of the new SG 5.0-132 model for Torp Vindmoellepark in the municipality of Struer. The three wind turbines will be the first in the world of their kind to be installed. Torp Vindmoellepark will have a total capacity of 15 MW and it will be operated without subsidies.
“We will exchange our three old Bonus wind turbines, each featuring 1 MW, from 1999. They have always worked well and with the high wind we have in this area we expect the new wind turbines to give us good production,” says Carl Lyngs from Torp Vind I/S. The private owners of Torp Vind I/S are local farmers and the support of the local community is extremely important to them. “This wind farm is deeply rooted in the local community and I am very happy for all the positive statements from our neighbours,” he continues.
