The new 2.75-103 wind turbine generator features an improved electrical system and has been fitted with 50.2m rotor blades, that incorporate GE’s own design.
The new units will generate 250 million kilowatt hour of electricity every year, which is enough to supply more than 70,000 German households, GE said.
All 41 wind turbines, which will feature a 98.3m high tower and a rotor diameter of 103m, will be manufactured in Germany and commissioned next year.
The blades used on the new unit are capable of increasing the annual energy output by more than 9% at a wind speed of 7.5 m/s.
Energiekontor also signed a service agreement with GE that covers extended spare parts, servicing contract for maintenance, routine inspections and remote monitoring.
