Iberdrola Renewables signs contract for wind turbine with General Electric

The turbines are designated for projects in the United States and will cover the requirements from 2008 to 2010. General Electric will deliver 200 of the 1.5 MW turbines leading up to 2010. Iberdrola was particularly happy to sign this contract as it will ensure the supply in this key market for the short and medium term. In recent times it was not certain whether all projects could be realized due to constraints in the supply side market for large projects. This adds to deals with Suzlon and Mitsubishi for wind turbines. In addition to these contracts and framework agreements Gamesa is also contracted to deliver 2,700 MW of wind turbine capacity to Iberdrola from 2007 to 2009.
