Alstom Ecotècnia to supply 300 MW of wind turbines to Iberdrola Renewables 
Over 20 GW of new wind turbines were installed worldwide in 2007, boosting global installed capacity to over 100 GW. Europe made up 60% of this total.
Alstom’s wind activity Ecotècnia has announced the signing of a frame agreement to supply around 300 MW worth of wind turbines to Iberdrola Renewables, marking Alstom’s first large agreement of this kind in wind energy since it acquired Ecotècnia in November 2007.
Under the terms of the agreement, worth around €300 million, Alstom will supply Iberdrola Renewables with the turbine models Eco 74, Eco 80 and Eco 80 2.0, totalling around 300 MW, over a period of four years.
“This agreement clearly shows the confidence of Iberdrola Renewables, the world leader in the wind industry, in our renewable energy technology,” said Philippe Joubert, Alstom Executive Vice President and President, Power Systems. “In the wake of the EU’s call for a 20% share of renewables in overall energy consumption by 2020, we expect an ever-increasing demand for Alstom’s wind turbines in the years to come.”
