RWE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR 25O 5M/6M REPOWER TURBINES

摘要

A February 2009 framework agreement between RWE Innogy and REpower. This deal has a potential volume of approximately €2 billion, making it one of the largest contracts ever signed in the wind industry and the largest ever in the area of offshore wind energy. The first 30 5Ms are scheduled for delivery in 2011, while this volume will continue to rise through the years 2012-2015. A majority of the units are destined for Innogy's planned Nordsee 1 wind farm, located 40 km north of the East Frisian island of Juist in water depths of 26-34 metres. According to planning, the roughly 1 GW offshore wind farm will comprise between 150 and 180 wind turbines of both the 5 MW and 6 MW series. In a statement, RWE Innogy says that the agreement offers them significant flexibility across its full range of offshore projects under development, in markets like the Netherlands and the UK.
