Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead time for Siemens Gamesa turbines?
Onshore turbines: 12-18 months from order to commissioning. Offshore turbines: 18-30 months (includes foundation coordination, vessel availability). 2026 backlog: ~25 GW, with 60% allocated to European projects.
What is the cost per MW for Siemens Gamesa turbines?
Onshore (2026): €950,000-1,150,000 per MW (turbine only). Offshore: €1,400,000-1,800,000 per MW (turbine only). Full turnkey (including foundation, installation, grid): €1,800,000-2,500,000 per MW onshore, €3,500,000-5,000,000 per MW offshore.
How does direct-drive compare to geared turbines?
Direct-drive (DD): No gearbox, lower maintenance, higher reliability (97%+ availability), but heavier nacelle and higher initial cost. Geared: Lighter nacelle, lower CapEx, but gearbox requires maintenance and has higher failure rate. SG offshore turbines use direct-drive; onshore offers both options.
