Goldwind USA, the US subsidiary of Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology, has been awarded a contract by InterEnergy to support the 215MW Penonomé wind project in the province of Coclé, Panama.

Under the contract, Goldwind will supply 86 of its 2.5MW Permanent Magnet Direct-Drive (PMDD) turbines for the 215MW Penonomé wind project.

Goldwind will also provide a long-term maintenance programme, as part of the contract.

Goldwind USA chief executive officer David Halligan said Goldwind has completed this sale to InterEnergy and to assist in bringing clean and cost-efficient energy to Panama.

"This sale is further evidence of the strength and technological advantages of Goldwind’s 2.5MW platform and highlights Goldwind’s established track record of developing strategic relationships with key customers and local partners in each of the markets we serve," Halligan added.

"A deal of this size with a well respected partner like InterEnergy, which is backed by the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation, speaks volumes to the efforts of our team and to the validity of our PMDD technology."

Designed to dramatically reduce cost wind generation over the life of a project, the Goldwind PMDD turbine features permanent magnet direct-drive design to reduce the number of high-speed rotational parts while avoiding the sources of expensive faults that require crane mobilisation.

InterEnergy Holdings chairman and chief executive officer Rolando Gonzalez Bunster said, "This will be InterEnergy’s largest investment in a renewable energy project to date, and will most certainly be an industry reference not only in Panama but in the entire region, for its size and importance."
