Danish lidar company Windar Photonics has bagged a contract double in Canada and the US.
The London Stock Exchange-listed technology group said today it will install six units of its Windeye system at an undisclosed wind farm in Canada owned by a “well-established Canadian utility”.
In addition, Windar confirmed an order for five units with a US utility on a wind farm in the western US. The unnamed project features Suzlon turbines.
Chief executive Martin Rambusch said: “These two new orders represent a significant opportunity for Windar to expand our global reach and to demonstrate the significant benefits of Windeye to utility scale wind generation projects.”
He added: “Our industry disruptive Windeye solution can add significant value to wind farm owners and to turbine manufacturers, increasing project yields by up to 7% and annual energy production by as much as 1-4%, and we look forward to demonstrating these benefits to our new partners throughout 2016 and beyond.”
