Czech Republic - Composite Technology's DeWind announces sale of 40 turbines
Composite Technology Corporation announced today that its subsidiary DeWind has received an order from S&M CZ s.r.o. to buy a total of 40 DeWind turbines without towers for 61,440,000 Euros (approximately $90 million). The Turbine Sales Agreement consists of 40 DeWind 2.0 megawatt D8 turbines for installation at multiple sites in the Czech Republic. The D8 turbines will be assembled at the TECO Westinghouse facility in Round Rock, Texas. Towers will be provided by the customer. The delivery schedule requires 10 turbines to be shipped in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 30 turbines delivered throughout 2009. Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement the entire purchase price is guaranteed by the customer's bank. This is a repeat order from S&M CZ, who purchased and received two D8 turbines from DeWind in 2007 and will take delivery of seven DeWind D6 turbines in the coming weeks.
Benton Wilcoxon, CEO of CTC, stated, "We are pleased to continue our history of selling high performance turbines to the European market. With our manufacturing capability and established supply chain, DeWind is poised to move forward in several geographic markets."
