All the wind turbine generators will be Gamesa G5x 850kW and G8x 2.0 MW, manufactured in Gamesa’s production facilities in China.
Guillermo Ulacia, Gamesa´s president and chief executive officer, and Fang Zheng, president of China Huadian New Energy, formalized this agreement during Ulacia’s visit to China on July 23, 2009.
The supply of the first 58 Gamesa G5X, with a total capacity of 49.3 MW, for the Meiguiying phase I wind farm has already been formalized. Construction on the wind farm will start in the third quarter of this year, and the supply, delivery and installation of the wind turbines will take place in the fourth quarter of 2009.
In addition to the 200 MW in joint development projects, the two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding for the supply of 100 MW of Gamesa G5X and G8x to other wind projects developed by Huadian New Energy.
These agreements come after a successful project of 76.5 MW G58 carried out by Gamesa for Huadian New Energy in Huitengxile (Inner Mongolia) in 2007, and shows the involvement and commitment of Gamesa as a strategic partner of Chinese companies for the development of wind energy in China.
