The manufacturer will provide 89 of its 2.3MW turbines with rotor diameters of 130 metres – the first model in its 2.XM platform – for the Cabo Leones II project, which is part of a 500MW wind cluster.
Installation will begin at the Huasco province site in the first quarter of 2020, with completion expected by the end of the year.
The project is being developed by Global Power Generation and Grupo Ibereólica Renovables’. Construction started at the site in August 2017.
Senvion will also service the turbines under a long-term agreement, it added.
