Gamesa has secured a new order from Elecnor for the expansion of the Maan wind farm with the addition of seven new G97-2.0MW wind turbines (14MW). This project, which Elecnor is building on a turnkey basis for the Jordan Ministry of Energy (MEMR), is located in southern Jordan.
The first phase of the wind farm, for which Gamesa supplied 33 G97-2.0MW wind turbines (66MW), was commissioned two months ago. Now, Gamesa and Elecnor have reached a new agreement to extend the original facility by installing another seven G97-2.0MW turbines which will be delivered towards the end of this year and commissioned during the second quarter of 2017. After this expansion, the Maan wind farm will have installed capacity of 80MW.
