The new units will generate about 250 million kWh of electricity a year, enough to supply more than 70,000 German households.
GE expects to commission seven turbines in 2013 in North Rhine-Wesphalia and 34 turbines in 2013 in the Cuxhaven area.
All 41 wind turbines will be manufactured in Salzbergen in Lower Saxony.
The turbines will feature a 98.3m-high tower and a rotor diameter of 103m to capture more energy.
Energiekontor managing director Peter Szabo said the technical design of these high-performance wind generators with their low noise emission levels is one of the main reasons we have chosen GE as the company’s project partner.
Energiekontor also signed a wind service agreement with GE including an extended spare parts and servicing contract for maintenance, routine inspections and remote monitoring, along with manual resets to be undertaken by on-site service technicians and technical measures for troubleshooting and fault rectification.
