HUTCHINSON — Siemens Energy announced this week it has secured an order for a new wind farm development in Texas.
The 182-megawatt Panhandle 2 wind project is located northeast of Amarillo, Texas, and will consist of 79 Siemens wind turbines. Pattern Energy, which has partnered with Siemens on seven other wind farm projects, is project developer.
Delivery of the equipment will begin in March, and the turbines are scheduled to be commission in November.
The nacelles for the turbines will be manufactured in Hutchinson, while the 53-meter blades will originate from the Siemens facility in Fort Madison, Iowa.
