Canadian Green Power Investment and Management Services Inc. Announces 120Megawatt Frame Agreement with EU Energy Inc
Canadian Green Power Investment and Management Services Inc. (CGP) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Master Frame Agreement with E U Energy, Inc. for the purchase of 60 of its D8.2 wind turbines. Under the agreement, CGP will purchase the DeWind D8.2 turbines over a four-year period with the first deliveries in 2008.
Canadian Green Power has assembled one of the largest wind land portfolios in Ontario. This is just the start of our development of wind projects in Ontario's8221; said Peter McArthur, President of Canadian Green Power. 's8220;CGP is pleased with the DeWind technology and proven reliability. These turbines with their synchronous generator directly connected to the grid is especially suited to the Ontario Standard Offer Program's8221;. The standard offer contract is the first in Canada that allows a producer to connect to the local grid with a 10MW or less wind farm. Peter added 's8220;He believes these are the first turbines ordered for the Standard Offer Program and CGP is delighted to be a leader in Ontario's8217;s renewable energy program.
Canadian Green Power Investment & Management Services Inc. is one of E U Energy's8217;s launch customers in Canada for the D8.2 turbine fitted with a 90m rotor, and looks forward to expanding this relationship's8221; said Michael Porter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EU Energy plc. 's8220;We are pleased that Canadian Green Power chose the DeWind D8.2 for its first 3 projects under the Ontario Standard Offer Program's8221; he added.
The DeWind D8.2 is an enhancement of the highly reliable D8 turbine and incorporates the Voith WinDrive hydrodynamic torque converter. The converter allows constant speed rotation of the synchronous generator, creating a 13.8kv output, which can be directly connected to the grid. EU Energy has an exclusive agreement until 2013 for use of the Voith torque converter in wind turbines up to 2.6MW capacity. DeWind turbines have a recognized track record for dependability, with the D6 and D8-series turbines included among the few able to boast of 100% gearbox reliability. November 2005 marked DeWind's8217;s fifth straight year without a gearbox failure.
