REpower Systems SE has concluded a contract with Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA) for the delivery of a total of 12 wind turbines. The turbines are destined for the Eva Creek Wind Project near the community of Ferry, for what will become the largest wind project in Alaska to date.
The wind farm will generate a Total output of 24.6MW. This will also be the first project with REpower turbines in Alaska. The Eva Creek project will use 12 of REpower’s Cold Climate Version (CCV) MM92 turbines, each with a rated power of 2.05MW and a hub height of 78.5 metres. They are specifically designed for the harsh Alaskan climate. Commissioning of the wind farm is scheduled for fall 2012.
