A 3000MW grid-connection agreement has been signed between Romania’s grid operator Transelectrica, and a joint venture between GE and German wind farm developer Prowind GmbH. The agreement covers the connection of the joint venture’s four wind farms to Transelectrica’s new substation being built near the small town of Banca.
Under Transelectrica’s grid connection agreement, the wind farms would supply up to 300MW to the regional grid. GE plans to supply a total of 120 of the company’s 2.5-100 class wind turbines for the four wind farms. The final schedule for shipment, installation and commercial operation of GE’s wind turbines has not yet been determined, but shipments could begin in the second half of 2012.
