Suzlon Group wins contracts for 35 MW wind power projects in UK
20 Dec 2011
Suzlon Group's wholl-owned European subsidiary, REpower, has signed deals for a total of 35 MW to supply wind turbines to two renewable energy projects in the United Kingdom.
REpower will supply wind turbines for a 24.6-MW project at Hall Farm, which is being developed by Ridgewind/H G Capital and the 10.25 MW Earls Hall Farm, being developed by Renerco in the UK.
The 10.25-MW wind farm at Earls Hall Farm near Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, will see REpower supply five MM92 turbines.
The turbines, with a rated output of 2.05 MW each, will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of at least 5,500 homes annually.
The 24.6 MW Hall Farm, located 5 km north of Beverly, North Humberside, will consist of 12 MM82 REpower turbines.
This is the first contract REpower has signed with Germany's Renerco Renewable Energy Concepts AG. REpower has already supplied eight MM92 turbines to Ridgewind/HG Capital for the Bagmoor windfarm.
