Senvion will supply 58 4.2M140 turbines with a hub height of 110 meters, as well as ten 3.2M114 turbines at a 93-meter hub height for the TG East Wind Project located in Fort Knox, Texas.

“The TG East Wind Project represents the expansion of Taaleri’s global footprint into the North American marketplace as a leading sponsor, and it is a great addition to our portfolio,” said Don Curry, President of Taaleri Energia Ltd. North America. “The project has very favorable attributes, and offers a superb opportunity to advance towards commercial operations alongside our partners, Senvion and NorthRenew.”

Senvion will supply 58 Senvion 4.2M140 turbines with a hub height of 110 meters, as well as ten Senvion 3.2M114 turbines at a 93-meter hub height. Commercial operations will commence in 2020. The agreements include 25-year full service operations and maintenance contract.

“We are pleased to be working in partnership with Taaleri and NorthRenew for the TG East Wind Project,” said Lance Marram, Chief Executive Officer of Senvion in North America. “Our 4.2M140 turbine maximizes yield and creates long-term business case certainty for our customers’ investments and our 25 year full service operations and maintenance contract is a testament to this.”

The TG East Wind Project is located in Knox County, Texas, and will generate over 1 million MWh of renewable electricity per year. The project will benefit from the federal production tax credit (PTC) at the 100% level and provide substantial economic benefits to the local community, in the form of landowner royalties, increased jobs, and tax revenues to the county and school district.

“We are honored to have been able to bring together such an excellent team that includes the successful deployment of 100% PTC-qualified equipment within this extremely attractive project,” commented Garth Klimchuk, Managing Partner of NorthRenew. “We look forward to continuing the successful completion of the project that will utilize one of the largest turbines in North America.”

Senvion is a global manufacturer of onshore and offshore wind turbines. The company develops, produces and markets wind turbines with rated outputs of 2 MW to 6.33 MW and rotor diameters of 82 metres to 152 metres.
