REpower crosses historic 1 GW milestone in UK

Hamburg/Edinburgh - Suzlon Group

REpower UK is only the third manufacturer in the UK to achieve the 1 GW watershed.

Since REpower UK reached 500 MW installed capacity back in 2010, the manufacturer has added a substantial number of wind farms to its portfolio in England, Scotland and Wales.
