Gamesa Technology Corp. has announced the first US project to feature its G114-2.0MW wind turbine. The 20MW Big Turtle Wind Farm will be built near Harbor Beach in Huron County on the northeastern side of The Michigan Thumb.
Gamesa will supply 10 G114-2.0 MW turbines on 93-meter towers to Traverse City, Michigan.-based Heritage Sustainable Energy, which is developing the wind farm. The deal includes a 12-year operation and maintenance services agreement. Construction is set to begin this fall with turbine deliveries planned for next summer. The project is scheduled to be complete and online by fall 2014. Detroit-based DTE Electric Co. will purchase all of the power produced by the wind farm under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
