Prokon placed another order with The Switch for 10 units of direct-drive 3MW permanent magnet generator (PMG) and full-power converters (FPC).
This contract follows a previous one for 2 direct-drive prototypes in the same class that will be ready for testing by the end of 2012. The Prokon P 3000 turbines will be used only at the company’s own wind farms, which will be built in Germany and Finland. Prokon’s business model is based on selling Prokon shares to assure a solid financial base. In October 2012, Prokon had over 53,500 shareholders with over € 965 million invested in the company. Currently, Prokon has 5,000MW in the planning stage, with an additional 600MW to come in the next few years. As of January 2013, the company will also be a supplier of electrical energy.
