PowerWind sells 10 wind turbines to Bulgaria

Hamburg, Germany - PowerWind GmbH has sold another 10 wind turbines to Bulgaria.

The German manufacturer is thus strengthening its position in the Bulgarian community segment with project sizes of up to 10 MW. The turbines of the type PowerWind 56 with a rated power output each of 900 kilowatt will be installed by the end of 2011 at various locations on the Black Sea (Hadji Dimitar, Poruchik Chunchevo) and further inland (Stara Kresna, Stara Zagora). Five of the turbines are for the experienced Bulgarian project developer MTK Group, three for the company Ruah ODD and two for Trakia Ecoenergia Ltd..

The first PowerWind turbine in Bulgaria has been in operation at Hadji Dimitar since December 2009. As a result of the cooperation with the experienced Bulgarian service company ABC Windfarm Ltd., the German manufacturer can offer all Bulgarian customers rapid and high-quality service.

For individual turbine projects with the PowerWind 56, no environmental reports and applications for production licenses would be necessary at many sites, even after the planned amendments to legislation by the Bulgarian government. PowerWind is already in discussions with regard to further supply contracts.
