Suzlon subsidiary REpower, WSB sign 45 MW contract

Suzlon Group said its subsidiary REpower Systems SE and WSB Neue Energien GmbH have signed a contract for the delivery and construction of 22 REpower MM92 wind turbines.

The turbines, each with a rated power of 2.05 mega watt (MW), are intended for the Taczalin project near Legnica in the Polish province of Lower Silesia.

Construction and commissioning of the wind farm, which will have a total power output of 45.1 MW, are scheduled for completion in August 2013.

“REpower has been operating in the Polish market since 2010 and since then has sold wind farms with a power output totalling more than 200 MW. The Taczalin project is our biggest ever in Poland,” Jens Müller Nielsen, managing director, REpower Systems.

 

In August 2011, Dresden-based WSB commissioned a wind farm near Opole, its first in Poland. Now, 15 REpower MM 92 turbines supply around 41,000 households with eco-friendly electricity. REpower has already set up two service support points in Poland for the maintenance of its turbines installations.
