REpower Systems SE has signed a contract with EDF EN Canada Inc. to supply a total of 75 wind turbines in the Canadian province of Québec. This is the third release order from the framework agreement concluded between EDF Energies Nouvelles and REpower in November 2009.
The REpower MM82 and MM92 turbines are intended for the Massif du Sud wind farm located on the south shore of Québec City. REpower will deliver the first turbines, each with a rated output of 2MW and a hub height of 80 metres, from early 2012, with the commissioning of the wind farm planned for autumn of the same year. REpower will then also be responsible for maintaining the turbines. With the projects Lac Alfred and Saint-Robert-Bellarmin and now Massif du Sud, EDF EN has already released 530MW from the framework agreement covering up to 954MW. REpower has adapted its 2MW onshore turbines to Canada’s demanding grid conditions and is using special cold climate versions (CCV).
