Siemens Gamesa not looking at new projects in Russia

MOSCOW. March 9 (Interfax) - Wind turbine producer Siemens Gamesa said it backed the sanctions imposed against Russia and would not be entering into any new commercial projects in the country in the foreseeable future.

Siemens Gamesa is also a partner of Enel Russia in renewable energy projects.

Siemens Gamesa is 67% owned by Siemens Energy and 3% by Blackrock . The remaining shares are in free float.

Siemens spun Siemens Energy off and remained its biggest shareholder with 35% at end-November 2021.

Siemens has already announced the suspension of deliveries and work on new businesses in Russia. Siemens is assessing all the consequences of sanctions, the company said.
