Enercon has secured turbine orders in Canada totalling 345MW for two unnamed wind farms and clients.
The deal covers supply of the German manufacturer’s E-138 EP3 machines, as well as a long-term service contract.
Enercon said the contract is the first for the EP3 platform in North America.
“Given the quantity and dimensions of the turbines and its components, international procurement and optimised logistics will be of particular importance,” the company said.
Enercon managing director Hans-Dieter Kettwig said: “Over the past few months we have seen a lot of momentum for the new EP3 platform in different international markets.
“We are delighted that Enercon has been chosen to supply the turbines in Canada.
“This shows that the new efficient, compact and cost optimised EP3 platform is well suited for our international markets.”
The company already has over 2.2GW of turbines installed across eight provinces of Canada.
Enercon Canada executive-vice president Michael Weidemann said: “Canada has a great wind regime. Renewable energy – and wind energy in particular – are well suited to help the provincial and federal governments fulfil their necessary carbon emission reduction goals by further electrifying the economy.
“Enercon is proud to have the right technology to be a part of this challenge and the EP3 positions us well for the upcoming procurement processes.”
