HUTCHINSON, Kan — Siemens has been awarded an order from Apex Clean Energy to supply, support 
installation and provide long-term service for 66 wind turbines for the Grant Wind project in Grant County, Oklahoma.
The Grant Wind project follows an announcement from earlier this year that Siemens is providing turbines, service and financing for Apex Clean Energy’s Kay Wind project in Kay County, Oklahoma. Siemens’ Financial Services is supporting the project’s construction financing with $50 million.
Installation of the turbines is scheduled to begin in October 2015, with the start of operations expected in the spring of 2016. The 151 megawatt (MW) project will feature Siemens SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines, assembled in Hutchinson, each with a power rating of 2.3 MW, and 53 meter blades which will be assembled at the Siemens blade facility in Fort Madison, Iowa.
Siemens recently achieved the 10-GW installed capacity milestone in the Americas, with its 5,600 installed wind turbines in Canada, the U.S. and South America. Nearly 5,000 wind turbines are installed in the U.S., capable of producing clean, renewable power for more than 2.5 million households every day.
