What They Do

Siemens Gamesa specializes exclusively in wind turbine technology, focusing on both onshore and offshore wind energy generation. The company does not engage in solar technologies, storage, hydrogen, or grids beyond turbine integration (source: wikipedia.org). Their products include the onshore 5.X platform, which has sold over 4.5 GW since its launch, and offshore turbines like the SG 14-236 DD, featuring a rotor diameter of 236 meters and a capacity of 14 MW. The latter has been utilized in projects totaling 1.44 GW (source: siemensgamesa.com). The company serves large-scale energy developers, independent power producers, and industrial customers in the development, construction, and operation of wind farms, with a focus on markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas (source: energydigital.com).

Projects and Track Record

Notable completed projects include the Vindeby Offshore Wind Farm in Denmark, which was the world's first and operated for 25 years until 2017, as well as Gamesa's first wind farm in Spain at El Perdón, installed in 1995 (source: siemensgamesa.com). Currently, Siemens Gamesa is working on significant projects such as the Bałtyk II and III offshore wind farms in Poland, totaling 1.44 GW, and the La Herrada wind plant, which prevents the emission of 140,000 metric tons of CO2 annually (source: statzon.com). Additionally, production ramp-ups are underway at their factories in Cuxhaven, Aalborg, and Le Havre, demonstrating their commitment to expansion and innovation in the sector (source: siemens-energy.com).

Recent Developments

In the past two years, Siemens Gamesa has announced a leadership transition, with Jochen Eickholt being succeeded by Vinod Philip on August 1, 2024, amid a comprehensive restructuring aimed at achieving double-digit margins and reaching breakeven by 2026 (source: siemens-energy.com). The company has secured significant contracts, including 1.44 GW for Bałtyk in Poland and 200 MW for Repsol in Spain, with a backlog of €33.7 billion despite a net loss of €884 million in the first quarter of 2023 (source: statzon.com).
