REpower Systems Group and RWE Innogy, the RWE Group's subsidiary specialising in renewable energies, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which provides for the negotiation of framework agreements with a volume of up to 1,900MW.

It involves some 250 offshore wind turbines of the 5M/6M type series and an approximate number of 200 further onshore wind turbines of the 2MW class. The intention is to conclude the negotiations on the framework agreements within the next three month or by the end of the year at the latest. The wind turbines should then be manufactured and delivered by REpower within a timeframe of 4 to 6 years, beginning on 1 January 2010.
