The 18.45MW Renneville project in Champagne-Ardenne is under construction with commissioning scheduled for June 2014.

The project will feature nine MM92 2.05MW turbines with hub heights of 100m and rotor diameters of 92.5m.

In addition, three wind farms in Chaourse, Anguilcourt and La Ville-aux-Bois-lès-Dizy in the Picardy region will feature 18 MM100 2MW machines with hub heights of 100m and rotor diameters of 100m.

Senvion said they will be the first MM100 units, which are well suited to low-wind site conditions, to be installed in France and Chaourse is planned for completion by the end of 2014.

Enertrag France general director Thierry Vergnaud said the 27 turbines from Senvion are technically proven and well-adapted for this part of France.

"After eight years of project development, we are very enthousiastic about the construction of these four wind farms," Vergnaud said.

Senvion will also provide full maintenance of the wind farms for 15 years.

Senvion France managing director Olivier Perot said, "The confidence granted by ENERTRAG to us shows the relevance of the MM100, a turbine perfectly adapted to French market and the reliability of the solutions provided by Senvion."
