Suzlon Energy Ltd. said its group subsidiary REpower Systems SE had concluded a contract with P.E. DEUS EX S.R.L., a project company of WEB International GmbH, to deliver eight 3.2M114 wind turbines to Romania.
The REpower 3.2M114 turbines, each with a rated power of 3.2 megawatts (MW), a hub height of 93 metres and a rotor diameter of 114 metres, are destined for a wind farm project near Margineni (Neamt country, Romania).
The wind farm is set to be constructed and commissioned by autumn 2013, the company said.
At the same time, the Hamburg-based wind turbine manufacturer has also founded REpower Systems DTE Romania SRL, a Romanian subsidiary, with headquarters located in Bucharest.
The wind farm in north-east Romania and the launch of the wholly-owned subsidiary mark REpower's entry into the Romanian market.
REpower already concluded several contracts for projects in Poland and the Czech Republic with the parent company and owner, WSB Neue Energien GmbH.
REpower Systems DTE Romania Managing Director Jan Gasche said, "We are pleased to be working with WSB International GmbH as an experienced partner to implement our very first project in Romania. The Romanian market boasts tremendous potential that we naturally want to take advantage of for REpower in the coming years."
Managing Director WEB International Stefan Hain commented, "REpower is a reliable and important partner for us in the implementation of wind farm project. We strive to deliver the highest quality from the planning phase right up to the commissioning of the farm, and the wind turbines are a core element of this."
At the BSE, Suzlon Energy shares are currently trading at Rs.15.75, up 0.64 percent from the previous close.
