Gamesa will supply wind turbines with a wind power combined installed capacity of 258 MW to nine wind farms Iberdrola Renovables will develop in Brazil. A total of 129 of Gamesa G8X-2MW wind turbine systems.
The wind turbines company signs a framework agreement with trade union representatives to guarantee equality between men and women and to implement measures to achieve work-life balance.
The nearly $200 million wind energy project is one of seven new wind farms Iberdrola Renewables currently has under construction around the U.S.
It's a remarkable story when a Spanish company such as Gamesa invests in high-paying U.S. jobs in Pennsylvania and is then able to export wind turbines to customers in Central America.
Ex-Im Bank's $159 million direct loan to the project sponsor, Energia Eolica de Honduras S.A., will finance its purchase of 51 Gamesa G87 2-MW wind turbines for the 102-MW wind farm.
The wind power plant, promoted by Eolica Energía de Honduras, will have a capacity of 102 MW and will be the largest wind farm in Central America. It is expected to start operations at the beginning of 2012.
When these wind energy facilities come into operation, the company’s aggregate capacity of 160 MW and 50% market share will make it Hungary’s largest wind power operator.
The contract to build the Cerro de Hula wind farm calls for a “turnkey” project with scheduled completion in 18 months. The new wind farm will consist of 51 Gamesa G87-2 MW wind turbines.
Growth in international wind energy markets: Asia is now the company's largest market, and foreign sales account for 89% of the total.
Gamesa decides to develop its offshore wind energy business on its own.
