Chinese OEM Windey has been selected as preferred supplier for Fintel’s 854MW Maestrale Ring project in Serbia, the largest European onshore wind farm.
As a further step in the implementation of Fintel’s wind pipeline, the company has entered into a conditional agreement with Windey.

Fintel Energija chief executive Tiziano Giovannetti said: “We are very proud to announce once again Windey as our selected turbine supplier, which marks a milestone in the project and brings it closer to commercial operation.
“This highlights our ability to build value in our portfolio projects, by advancing them to more mature stages and higher valuations.”
Windey’s regional director go its European business division Kai Wang said: “We are honoured to have been selected as preferred supplier for Fintel’s Serbian wind projects and the trust that the Fintel placed once more in Windey.
“We are excited to engage in the largest European Wind Farm and we reaffirm ambition to partner with customers and suppliers to make wind energy profitable, scalable, and serviceable.
“Windey continues its ambition to be a leader in the region and we remain committed to contribute to Serbia`s clean energy target, in close partnership with Fintel.”
