Siemens To Supply 258 Wind Turbines for Three Iowa Projects
Company says this is the largest onshore order it has received to date.
Orlando, Florida, USA -- Last week, Siemens announced that it had received an order for 258 of its SWT-2.3-101 wind turbines for three MidAmerican Energy Co. projects in Iowa. The projects, the Laurel, Rolling Hills and Pomeroy wind developments, have a combined capacity of 593 MW. Randy Zwirn, President and CEO of Siemens Energy sees this as a positive sign for the wind industry, which experienced a slowdown in 2010. "Orders of this magnitude create the environment for continued investment in the infrastructure America needs to meet the strong demand for clean energy right where it's used." Earlier in 2010, Siemens Energy opened a new wind turbine nacelle assembly facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, and the company says that it is committed to further production expansion as the U.S. market continues to grow.

40% of the cost will be subsidized by US tax payers.
Consider this if 30% to 40% of the components are made overseas then most if not all the Tax Payer subsidies go to create jobs overseas.
How much does it REALLY cost for a 2.3 MW Siemens windmill?
