Suzlon Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary - REpower Systems SE - has signed deals for a total of 35 MW to supply wind turbines for Hall Farm, developed by Ridgewind/HG Capital, and Earls Hall Farm, developed by Renerco in the UK. The 10.25 MW wind farm at Earls Hall Farm near Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, will see REpower supply five MM92 turbines. The larger development at Hall Farm, located 5 km north of Beverly, North Humberside, will have a capacity of 24.6 MW, and consist of 12 MM82 REpower turbines.
This is the first contract REpower has signed with Germany-based Renerco Renewable Energy Concepts AG. REpower has already supplied eight MM92 turbines to Ridgewind/HG Capital for the Bagmoor windfarm.
The turbines at Earls Hall Farm, with a rated output of 2.05 MW each, will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of at least 5,500 homes annually. The 12 MM82 turbines at Hall Farm will generate power for at least 14,000 homes annually. Together, these wind farms will be able to meet the energy demands of nearly 20,000 homes. Construction at Earls Hall Farm will start in the summer of 2012, and scheduled for completion later in the year. Hall Farm will start in the spring with a similar completion date.
