GE said its 2.75-103 wind turbine, with 50.2-meter blade, provides a larger blade swept area giving wind developers greater energy capture and improved project economics. The new units will generate some 250 million kWh of electricity a year - enough to supply more than 70,000 German households.
GE expects to commission seven turbines in 2013 in North Rhine-Wesphalia and 34 turbines in the Cuxhaven area in the same year. All 41 wind turbines will be manufactured in Salzbergen in Lower Saxony. The turbines will feature a 98.3-meter-high tower and a rotor diameter of 103 meters to capture more energy.
Energiekontor also signed a wind service agreement with GE including an extended spare parts and servicing contract for maintenance, routine inspections and remote monitoring, along with manual resets to be undertaken by on-site service technicians and technical measures for troubleshooting and fault rectification.
