Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation, the US-based subsidiary of Suzlon Energy A/S of Denmark, has signed a contract to supply a total of 300 units of the S88-2.1MW turbine, which is equivalent to 630MW of capacity, with Edison Mission Group (EMG) of Irvine, California.
The two-phase contract calls for delivery of 315MW of turbine capacity in 2008 and another 315MW of capacity in 2009, which along with previous purchases brings EMG's total committed Suzlon turbine capacity to over 1,000MW. The agreement includes a five-year contract for service and warranty in 2008. The turbines will be sited at various wind farm locations across the United States, which are yet to be announced.
