REpower Systems AG has signed contracts in France and the USA for the supply of 44 wind turbines. The REpower MM92 turbines, each with 2 MW rated power, are intended for wind farms in the North East of France and in the US State of Oregon.
The wind farm Les Hauts Pays in the French department of Haute-Marne
will be operated by the French project developer Erelia Haute Marne.
The project is part of a framework agreement signed by REpower and
Electrabel in 2007. A total of 23 MM92s, each with a hub height of 100
metres, will be installed for the sections Les Hauts Pays Centre and
Sud by REpower S.A.S. Les Hauts Pays Nord, another section of the wind
farm project, will comprise 11 MM92s, each with a hub height of 80
metres, following completion of the project. The company has also
received another order from the USA. REpower will supply 10 MM92
turbines, each with a hub height of 78.5 metres, for the Echo wind farm
in the US State of Oregon. The turbines are scheduled to be brought
into operation next year by REpower USA Corp. REpower's customer is
John Deere Renewables LLC, a financial services business of Deere &
