10 years of service and maintenance for eight MidAmerican wind
projects currently in operation as well as four additional projects
that are scheduled to become operational during the term of the
agreement. Siemens service technicians and engineers will be
working and living in and around these Iowa wind projects over the
course of the agreement providing significant and sustained
economic benefits to the region.
MidAmerican Energy and Siemens have worked together since 2008
developing significant renewable energy resources in Iowa,
benefitting local utility customers and residents. Additionally,
Siemens has a wind turbine blade manufacturing plant in Ft.
Madison, where blades for many of the projects were
manufactured.
“I am pleased that MidAmerican Energy and Siemens continue to
find opportunities to work together to enhance our state’s position
as a national leader in wind generation,” said Iowa Gov. Terry
Branstad. “It is great to see clean, renewable energy as the state
of Iowa benefits from the quality jobs and positive economic impact
that the renewable energy business generates and delivers.”
“MidAmerican Energy continues to invest significantly in
expanding and sustaining Iowa’s position as one of America’s
leading producers of clean, renewable energy,” said Randy Zwirn,
president and CEO, Siemens Power Generation Services. “We are
extremely proud they have chosen Siemens to provide service and
maintenance solutions to help ensure the optimal performance of
these wind projects over the next decade.”
“Siemens continues to provide valuable equipment and services
that benefit our customers and the state,” said Bill Fehrman,
president and CEO, MidAmerican Energy. “This contract is a
testament of their commitment to provide answers that help us
continue to deliver sustainable energy solutions.”
Siemens currently provides service and maintenance for more than
3,100 installed wind turbines in the Americas region and more than
