REpower signs 26MW deal to supply Austrian wind project

Turbine producer REpower Systems has signed a deal to supply 25.6MW to a wind developer in Austria.

The Germany-based Suzlon subsidiary will deliver eight of its 3.2M114 machines to Windkraft Simonsfeld.

The turbines will be deployed at the Poysdorf-Wilfersdorf III wind farm in northeast Austria, with deliveries due to begin in the second quarter of 2013.

With a hub height of 143 metres, the turbines will be the tallest ever deployed in Austria, says the manufacturer. They were chosen to suit areas of low wind-speeds and forested terrain.

The deal also includes a 20-year service agreement, adds REpower, which has previously supplied another Windkraft Simonsfeld project.
