REpower is supplying Japan with another eight wind turbines
Hamburg, 7 May 2004. The Japanese operations of REpower Systems AG (TecDAX, WKN 617703), a leading supplier of wind turbines in the multimegawatt class in particular, are going from strength to strength. Six REpower MD 77 turbines for a wind farm in Mushigamine on the West Coast of Japan will be shipped from Hamburg next week. In addition, REpower's Japanese sales partner, Meidensha, has ordered another two MD 77 machines for delivery to Japan in the coming months.
REpower is also expecting an additional order for nine MD 77 wind turbines for another wind farm in Japan. REpower has already been selected as the preferred supplier of the turbines due to the outstanding technology offered by the company.
