Power-generating Siemens 2.37 megawatt (MW) wind turbines are seen at the Ocotillo Wind Energy Facility California, May 29, 2020.
The German renewables firm Siemens Energy announced Wednesday that the CEO of its troubled wind turbine unit will be replaced amid "comprehensive restructuring measures."
"In a very difficult situation at Siemens Gamesa, Jochen laid the central foundations for the urgently needed reorganization and new start within Siemens Energy.
It is only fair to emphasize that the causes of the quality problems did not fall under his tenure as CEO," said Siemens Energy CEO Christian Bruch in a statement.
Siemens Energy suffered a rough 2023.
