Release Date: 2008-12-23
Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica continues to reinforce its market leadership in China after receiving several orders for a total power of 294,95 MW that will be supplied in 2009 from Longyuan Electric Power Group Corporation, a leading firm in renewable energies in the Asian country that belongs to the largest Chinese electric utility group, the Guodian Corporation.
The wind turbines ordered amount to a total of 347 units from the Gamesa G5X-850 kW platform manufactured in Gamesa’s production facilities in Tianjin. These turbines will be destined to different wind farms located in several Chinese provinces.
The scope of the order includes the supply of wind turbine generators (without towers), the supervision of their assembly and start-up, along with two years of operation and maintenance. These projects are part of the framework agreement entered into by both companies for different wind energy projects.
Through the awarding of these orders, Gamesa has taken another step forward in its strategy to focus on key accounts in the main growth markets, particularly in Asia. These orders also consolidate the company’s business relationship with the Longyuan Electric Group, which was established in 2004.
From an environmental viewpoint, the wind turbine generators Gamesa will supply to these wind farms will contribute towards generating electricity supplies that respect the environment and avoid the emission of pollutants to the atmosphere. More specifically, the annual production of these installations’ 335.75 MW will replace 63,414 tons of petroleum equivalent (TPE) per year and avoid the emission into the atmosphere of 442,425 tons of CO2 a year.
