GE Renewable Energy has announced it has signed a contract with Khao Kor Wind Power Co., Ltd., (KWP) to supply wind turbines for the Khao Kor wind farm in Petchaboon, Thailand.
The 60MW project is expected to supply power to the northern part of the country, generating enough equivalent energy to power approximately 36,000 Thai households for a year. The 24 wind turbines that will deliver the power each utilise a 120 meter rotor diameter to provide 2.5MW of power per unit. With its hub sitting atop a tubular steel tower 110 meters off the ground, the 2.5-120 specialises in increasing power yields for low-to-medium wind speed regions, like the conditions anticipated at the Khao Kor wind farm.
