Siemens Industry has recently
won an order from the Madrid-based company Eolia
Renovables, one of the leading independent European companies in wind power
and photovoltaic solar electricity generation, for the technical operation and
maintenance of four photovoltaic systems with a total power output of over 45
MW. Spanning a period of more than 20 years, the service and maintenance
contract has a volume of approximately EUR40 million.
According to the companys press release, the focus of
the contract is directed on the services for the technical equipment and on
achieving a high availability. In addition, the contract also includes
procurement and stocking of spare parts throughout the entire term of the
agreement as well as the access control. The duration of the full service
contract is 23 years for the Beneixama, Mahora and Bonete sites, and 24 years
for Alconchel.
We have chosen Siemens as
our partner because we were convinced by their high product solutions and
service expertise within photovoltaic systems. A further important criterion
for our decision was to have a reliable partner for the whole duration of the
entire life cycle of the plant, said Fermín Matesanz, at Eolia Renovables.
