Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has reached an important milestone in the localisation strategy for Russia. SGRE and Ruselprom, a leading manufacturer of electric motors and generators, have signed a manufacturing and supply agreement for the Russian market. According to the contract, Ruselprom will locally produce and deliver generators for onshore wind turbines. Recently, SGRE has secured the first order for a 90 MW wind farm in Russia.
