Spanish wind turbine maker Gamesa said today it had divested two Greek wind
projects totalling 82 MW to EMV, part of Eren Groupe SA.
Gamesa will build the 40-MW Ptoon and 42-MW Maristi wind farms for EMV in the
Sterea Ellada region. The company will use nine of its G87 turbines and 11 of
the G97 machines for the Ptoon project. The Maristi plant, in turn, will
comprise 21 of Gamesa’s G87 units.
The scope of the deal includes installing electric substations at both sites.
The contract also calls for the Spanish firm to operate and maintain the two
wind parks for a 10-year period. The facilities are expected to be completed by
the end of 2015.
Including the newly-purchased projects, Luxembourg-based Eren now owns over 150
MW of renewable energy plants in
Greece
, either
operational or under construction. Last year, the group bought a 25.5-MW wind
park in
Greece
’s Viotia
prefecture from Gamesa.
Since 2000, Gamesa has developed almost 90 MW of wind farms in
Greece
and its current
local pipeline reaches 600 MW. Moreover, the company has also erected 180 MW of
its turbines and maintains a further 118 MW in
Greece
