Gamesa is to supply nine Gamesa G52-850 kW, i.e. a total installed capacity of 7.65MW, to Pioneer Generation Ltd. for the Mount Stuart wind farm in New Zealand. The wind farm is located 15 km east of Milton, in Otago, at the south-east end of the New Zealand's South Island.
The contract includes manufacturing and shipping the generators and supervising installation and commissioning. The wind farm is scheduled to become operational in 2011. This contract, Gamesa's first with Pioneer Generation Limited, is also its first in the Asia-Pacific wind power market and reflects the company's strategy of tapping new markets and new customer categories. This year, Gamesa plans to establish a subsidiary in the Asia-Pacific region with head office in Singapore to offer project services as well as wind turbine operation and maintenance in the region. The company also envisages establishing a technology centre in Singapore.
