More good news for the Hutchinson Siemens facility. Siemens Energy was awarded an order for another onshore 
wind power plant in the USA. The Windthorst-2 onshore wind power project in Windthorst, Texas, will consist of 28 Siemens wind turbines. Customers are Brooklyn-based developer OwnEnergy and a fund managed by BlackRock. The wind farm is expected to commence commercial operation in fall 2014. With a total power output of 67.6 MW, it will provide clean power to nearly 20,000 American households. A service agreement was also signed for the project and will ensure the reliability, availability and performance of the wind turbines.
