REpower turbines to repower 23.8MW UK wind farm
The Suzlon-owned company confirmed yesterday that it had sold its first 3.4M104 turbine in the UK to Hainsford Energy, which owns the 20-year-old Blyth Harbour wind farm.
The existing nine 300kW turbines have come to the end of their useful life so will now be replaced with what are being hailed as the most powerful onshore wind turbines in the UK.
The new REpower machine is expected to be the first of seven, which will eventually boast a capacity of 23.8MW.
On its own, the first new machine to be installed at the site will likely produce more energy than all the old wind turbines combined.
Rick Eggleston, managing director of REpower UK, said he was extremely pleased to have sold the company's first 3.4M104 turbine in the UK.
"Using larger capacity turbines like this means that onshore wind farms can be even more productive in relation to their size," he said. "I am also delighted to be continuing our long-established relationship with Hainsford Energy."
The turbine is expected to be installed in the middle of the year, with commissioning expected by late summer.
