Siemens has signed a long-term agreement with Rhyl Flats Wind Farm Ltd., 50.1% owned by RWE AG, to continue providing service and maintenance at the Rhyl Flats wind farm off the coast of North Wales for the next 15 years.
Siemens has been providing service and maintenance for the 25 SWT-3.6-107 turbines at Rhyl Flats since the project became operational in 2009. This agreement marks the first 15-year post-warranty offshore service extension for Siemens and extends the term through the lifecycle of the turbines. Rhyl Flats is located approximately 8 kilometres off the coast of North Wales. It has a maximum installed capacity of 90 MW. Siemens offshore service personnel for Rhyl Flats are based at an operations and maintenance base built at the Port of Mostyn. The port is also the service and maintenance base for the 576MW Gwynt y Môr offshore project.
