UBS analysts said that in a worst-case scenario charges for Siemens Energy could exceed 5 billion euros.
Denmark's Orsted said it operates one onshore wind farm with Siemens Energy turbines and that Orsted's portfolio of turbines has "high availability rates, reflecting that wind power has very little down-time."
Siemens Gamesa has already told Iberdrola that it would proceed with a retrofit design, the source said, adding no technical issues for the remaining fleet of Siemens Gamesa turbines had been observed.
Siemens Energy shares were up 5.7% at 1428 GMT, recovering some losses after analysts said Friday's sell-off was overblown.
Siemens Gamesa first disclosed problems around its 5X model in July 2021, flagging higher than expected ramp-up costs.
