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).
