Wind power plant in China

The biggest success to date in this new field is the successful project acquisition to develop a wind power plant for Suzhou TITP Wind Power Technology Ltd. in China. The development agreement was signed in the presence of the EDAG managing director Jörg Ohlsen and Yan Li (Mayor of Suzhou) on 27th May, this is the basis for future development of the field wind power in Fulda and Hamburg. The Suzhou region is home to 6 million people. The plant with a nominal capacity of 2000kW will be stood on a 100m tower, the rotor blades are 45m long and the rotor circular surface is 6000m². This is equivalent to the size of about 2 football fields and the energy output is approx. 4 million kWH/plant and year. The acquisition of this first major project in the development of complete plants EDAG feels encouraged to gradually develop their expertise in this small but growing business area.
