Gamesa is to supply its 4.5MW hardware to a onshore wind farm repowering project in Germany.
The Spanish company will deliver three G128 machines to Energiekontor for the Debstedt project in Lower Saxony near Bremerhaven.
The wind farm has been operational since 1998 and feaures 11 turbines of 1MW each. Eight of the original machines will come down under the plans.
“This contract marks a milestone in our strategy for Northern Europe as it is the first order to supply the G128-4.5 MW in such a competitive market as Germany,” said Gamesa.
“For Energiekontor’s repowering strategy it is essential to use a state-of-the-art technology to install the maximum power into a plot with the lowest impact on the environment,” said the developer.
Delivery is scheduled fof August with full commissioning scheduled before year end. Gamesa has also signed an 18-year service deal.
