Siemens has been awarded a long-term contract for service and maintenance at the Lower Snake River wind farm located near Pomeroy, Garfield County in Washington State. The customer is Puget Sound Energy (PSE), headquartered in Bellevue, WA.
Completed in early 2012, the Lower Snake River project contains 149 SWT-2.3-101 wind turbines that produce up to 343MW of renewable energy. The turbines have been serviced and maintained by Siemens since beginning commercial operation in 2012. Under terms of the agreement, Siemens will provide long-term service and maintenance at the project for an additional 10 years and install the company’s Power Boost function and High Wind Ride Through (HWRT) turbine modernisation products to all 149 units.
