Alstom has signed a contract with PGE Energia Odnawialna worth approximately €80 million, to supply 30 ECO110 wind turbines for the “Lotnisko 90MW” wind farm based in Kopaniewo.
With a total output of 90MW and scheduled for commissioning at the end of 2015, Lotnisko is one of the largest projects in the Polish wind power industry, and the first wind power project implemented by Alstom in Poland.
In a statement Alstom said the scope of the contract covers the project management, and commissioning of 30 Alstom ECO110 3 MW wind turbines equipped with a 110 m diameter rotor, a 90 meter high steel tower, and a SCADA remote control system. Alstom will also provide turbines operation and maintenance for 2 years.
The ECO110 is part of Alstom’s proven ECO100 turbine platform. More than 130 turbines of this type have already been installed in Europe, including Spain, Great Britain, Turkey and Finland.
All Alstom wind turbines are based upon the unique and proven Alstom Pure Torque rotor support concept that protects the drive train from deflection loads, ensuring higher reliability and lower maintenance costs.
Alstom has installed more than 2,600 turbines in more than 200 wind farms, delivering over 5,000 MW. Alstom designs and manufactures onshore and offshore wind turbines in a range from 1.67 MW to 6 MW, providing solutions for all geographical and climate conditions.
