Suzlon to provide 88-MW of wind turbines to Tierra Energy

The projects where the turbines will end up are Ocotillo Windpower Project near Big Spring, Texas, where 28 turbines will be erected, and the Happy Jack Windpower Project located near Cheyenne, in Wyoming, where the remaining 14 turbines will be installed. Suzlon will also provide operations management, maintenance and service of the equipment for a period of five years. The delivery will start in March 2008.

Tierra is focused on the development of a diversified portfolio of over 1,000 MW of both wind power projects mainly in California, Idaho, Texas and Wyoming.

 

“We are expanding our base in three ways; by signing with a new wind partner, by extending our project locations westward, and equally important by working towards project-based financing for Suzlon turbines,” said Mr Andris Cukurs, CEO of Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation.

 

“Tierra is excited to join Suzlon in bringing two new wind projects to the market,” said Mr David Marks, President of Tierra Energy, said. “These projects demonstrate Tierra’s commitment to

renewable energy and to the continued build-out of our development pipeline.”
