REpower To Supply 41 MW of Wind Turbines for National Wind

"We strongly value our new relationship with REpower and look forward to building upon it," said Jack Levi, co-chair of National Wind. "Securing wind turbines is a significant project milestone for Lake Country Wind Energy. Not only is REpower's turbine technology an ideal fit for the project's wind regime, it also advances Lake Country's first phase toward a late 2010 construction. It is exciting to bring Meeker and Kandiyohi Counties' first utility-scale community-owned wind project closer to reality."

Following the successful construction of projects in Washington, Oregon, Indiana, Michigan and California, these are the first wind turbines that the U.S. subsidiary of REpower will deliver to Minnesota.

"The US market is gradually starting to recover," says Per Hornung Pedersen, CEO of REpower Systems AG. "This order and the other signed contracts in the last few months show that our North American business is slowly picking up again."
