AREVA, through its subsidiary Multibrid, is to supply PROKON Nord with eighty 5MW wind turbines for the offshore wind farm Borkum West II.

The expected sales will exceed € 500 million. The wind farm is located 45 km north of the Borkum Island in the North Sea. Multibrid will deliver its M5000 wind turbines during 2010 and 2011. This announcement comes in the wake of the decision made by Trianel, an association comprising German urban electric utilities, to join forces with PROKON Nord in the Borkum West II project and to invest around one billion euros in the 400 MW wind farm. AREVA acquired a 51% stake in Multibrid in October 2007 for € 75 million.
