Siemens signs long-term wind service agreement in UK


• Siemens to provide service and maintenance for an additional 15 years at the Clyde wind farm in Scotland, one of Europe’s largest wind projects
• Sixth service agreement with majority shareholder SSE since July 2015

Siemens has been awarded a long-term contract extension for service and maintenance at the 350-megawatt (MW) Clyde wind farm in Scotland. The customer is Clyde Windfarm (Scotland), LTD, owned by SSE, Greencoat UK Wind and GLIL. This is the sixth service agreement Siemens has signed with majority shareholder SSE since July 2015. The Clyde wind farm is comprised of 152 SWT-2.3-93 wind turbines and is capable of powering 300,000 average homes in the UK. The project has been serviced and maintained by Siemens since beginning commercial operation in 2011 and is located near Crawford in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Under terms of the agreement, Siemens will provide long-term service and maintenance services for an additional 15 years with its SWPS-300W maintenance agreement. The SWPS-300W is the most comprehensive onshore wind service package available from Siemens, and includes a guarantee of availability and extended warranty on major components over the entire term. With its sophisticated monitoring, management and data analysis tools, Siemens’ Remote Diagnostics Services, part of the Siemens Digital Services portfolio, supports predictive maintenance planning by identifying potential issues before they impact operations.
