Repower Systems AG, a German wind- turbine builder, will supply turbines for a US$2-billion, 954-megawatt wind power project planned in Quebec, Canada, one of the largest contracts in the industry.
The project, which consists of five wind farms, is due to go into service between December 2011 and December 2015, Repower said in a statement on OTS newswire Monday.
St-Laurent Energies, a grouping of Electricite de France SA unit EDF Energies Nouvelles and Hydromega Services Inc., was awarded the contract to build the farms. Repower is the group's exclusive turbine supplier for the project, Repower said.
About 30% of the project budget is related to manufacturing wind turbine components, the company said.
