Siemens Energy has secured the order for the Jeffrey's Bay wind power plant with a capacity of 138 megawatts (MW). This marks the company's market entry into the South African wind power sector. Siemens has now received a total of 16 orders for more than 270 onshore wind turbines from Europe and South Africa since July 2012. The total capacity of these projects of 730 MW is sufficient to supply 730,000 households with ecofriendly electricity, with 560 MW of this total booked in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The total volume of this order for supply, installation and service is more than EUR880 million.

Siemens will supply and install wind turbines, and provide service and maintenance, for three wind farms each in UK, Denmark and Sweden, for two projects each in Turkey and Croatia and for one project each in Macedonia, Poland and South Africa.
