An order for 32 MW may not sound like much. Still, in a few ways it is an interesting order that Siemens Gamesa announces on Monday. Partly because it concerns an offshore wind farm in Vietnam – which despite its very early phase is one of the most popular southeast Asian markets – and partly because, technically, the wind turbines to be installed are of the onshore type. The order for project No. 5 Thanh Hai 1 is thus for seven wind turbines of the type SG 4.5-145.

"As the industry leader in offshore wind, Siemens Gamesa can leverage our unmatched experience and know-how in the industry to adapt our onshore turbines to meet this project’s requirements and optimize project economics for the customer," says Siemens Gamesa Onshore Chief Executive of Asia-Pacific Richard Paul Luijendijk.
