In the beginning of May, Moventas delivered two 5MW offshore wind gears to AREVA Wind. After approximately one year of testing, Moventas and AREVA Wind will be ready for series deliveries.
Moventas and AREVA Wind have signed an agreement worth € 80 million concerning 5MW gear unit deliveries for the coming years. The new offshore gear will strengthen the Moventas product range, especially for the European markets, where the demand for offshore wind turbines is showing promising signs of growth. With a rated power of 5 MW, AREVA’s M5000 wind turbine with its medium-speed concept has now three years operational experience in the German North Sea, and the group is now moving into serial production with its confirmed backlog of 120 machines. Beyond this AREVA is aiming at strong international expansion, with a focus on the European markets, and in particular UK and France.
