Suzlon Group’s UK subsidiary, REpower UK, has signed two new contracts totalling 16.4 MW. The company will be supplying wind turbines for a new wind farm at Wear Point in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, as well as the Avonmouth wind farm in south west England.
Wear Point, jointly owned by infrastructure company John Laing and developer Infinergy, will consist of four MM 82 turbines. Construction work at Wear Point will commence in summer 2013 and will be completed towards the end of the year.
Avonmouth Wind Farm, located at the Bristol sewage treatment works nearby, is being developed by Triodos Renewables Plc and GENeco – Wessex Water’s waste-to-energy company – and will consist of four MM 92 turbines. These are part of a wider strategy to increase renewable energy at Wessex Water's sewage treatment works. They will be part of a renewable energy mix of wind and anaerobic digestion which is already in operation at the site.
Construction at Avonmouth is due to start in the summer and will be completed in December 2013.
Wear Point and Avonmouth wind farms will have a rated output of 8.2MW each, enough to generate power for nearly 5,000 homes.
Rick Eggleston, Managing Director, REpower UK said, “2012 was one of our most successful years to date with nearly 300 MW signed, and these two new contracts represent the perfect start to what we believe will be a very successful 2013.”
