E.ON and WINKRA choose REpower to supply a 5MW turbine

REpower Systems AG has gained an important customer for its 5MW turbine REpower 5M with EWC Cuxhaven GmbH. EWC is a joint venture between E.ON (represented by E.ON Energy Projects GmbH) and the wind park developer WINKRA, which has been part of the Essent Group since 2003. Installation of the wind power turbine is provisionally scheduled to take place at the DEWI-OCC test field in Cuxhaven in December 2006. E.ON/WINKRA has chosen the offshore version of the REpower 5M turbine, which has a helicopter deck, emergency room and other special facilities for the operation of this type at sea.
