Gamesa has signed a 7-year operations and maintenance (O&M) agreement with FCC covering 397 wind turbines with total installed capacity of 421MW. Gamesa has thereby renewed the existing O&M service agreement covering 357MW and added another 64MW to its portfolio.
In total, Gamesa will maintain 184 of its own 850kW turbines, 93 2.0MW turbines and 120 660kW turbines fitted in 14 wind farms across León, Galicia (Pontevedra and La Coruña), Andalusia (Huelva, Jaén, Granada and Almería), Zaragoza, Teruel and Toledo in Spain. Under the terms of the agreement, Gamesa will install its Algorithm Improvement Program in FCC’s 850kW and 2.0MW turbines. The 2MW turbines will also be fitted with the company’s continual improvement program known as Gamesa Premium Availability (GPA). GPA implies a host of turbine enhancements, ranging from operational and software upgrades to minor repair work, streamlined logistics for major repair work and preventative maintenance systems.
