Siemens Energy stays on road to success in North America. The company is to supply wind turbines with a combined capacity of 227 megawatts (MW) for a wind farm located in Oklahoma. The order placed by the utility Oklahoma Gas & Electric encompasses 98 wind turbines and also includes the first delivery of three machines from the new generation of direct drive wind turbines. Siemens also continues to post successes in Canada, too: The company has signed a framework agreement with Samsung C&T Corporation for the supply of wind turbines with a combined capacity of 600 MW, which is sufficient to supply 240,000 Canadian households with ecofriendly electricity. The turbines are destined for various projects in Ontario. Siemens has also announced that it intends to invest in setting up a new rotor blade manufacturing facility in Canada and thus wants to create up to 300 jobs.
