REpower Systems SE, a Suzlon Group-subsidiary has announced that it has recieved a EUR 90 million contract from Bürgerwindpark im Kirchspiel Medelby GmbH & Co. KG which would see REpower supplying over 27 wind turbines for four projects.
“We are pleased that another community project has selected REpower know-how. Community wind farms, in addition to orders from our major customers, make a considerable part of our German business: totaling nearly 50 percent in the financial year 2012/13.” said CEO Andreas Nauen.
REpower will deliver 13 turbines of type 3.2M114 with 123 meters hub height, eleven 3.2M114 with 93 meters hub height, two MM92 with 80 meters hub height, and one MM92 with 100 meters hub height to the project. The turbines are scheduled for delivery over 2014. The community wind farm Medelby is situated in Northern Schleswig-Holstein near the Danish border. REpower also concluded a service contract for 15 years runtime with an option for five additional years.
“Community wind farms are becoming more and more popular as they enable residents to cover their electricity support with their very own wind farm”, explains Nauen. “We are always happy to be a reliable partner by offering project specific solutions for this way of autonomous energy supply.”
