Gamesa has signed a contract with CGN Wind Energy, a subsidiary of China's General Nuclear Power Group, for the supply of 100MW.
The scope of the agreement encompasses the supply and installation of 50 G97-2.0MW wind turbines, specifically configured for high-altitude locations, at the Yangchajie wind complex located in the province of Yunnan, in southeast China. Fulfilment of this order is slated for the last quarter of 2014. In addition, Gamesa and CGN have agreed the potential supply another 100MW during a second phase of this project in the course of 2015. The turbines to be installed at the Yangchajie wind farm are configured to withstand the low temperatures and low air density conditions typically encountered in the province of Yunnan, which is 2,000 metres above sea level.
