Following an international call for tender, VERGNET is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a €24 million contract to build the first wind farm in Algeria.
This project is part of a policy of energy diversification in Algeria, a country that is blessed with substantial renewable resources and countless “Farwind” sites.
With a capacity of 10 MW, this farm will be built in Adrar, in Southern Algeria, and should be operational in 2012.
This contract was awarded by Compagnie de l’engineering de l’électricité et du gaz (CEEG), a subsidiary of the Algerian electricity and gas company SONELGAZ.
The VERGNET group will be responsible for designing, manufacturing and installing this farm, which will comprise 10 1 MW GEV HP wind turbines.
The terms of the project allow for a period of 23 months from the coming into force of the contract, which should take place in the near future.
Marc Vergnet commented on the awarding of this contract: “We are delighted that Sonelgaz has chosen Vergnet technology for the installation of the first wind farm in Algeria. The Group’s strategy of innovation means that we are now in a position to offer high-performance competitive products. This new contract in a country in which we hadn’t yet operated is proof of this and helps diversify our order book going forward to 2012.”
