Eurus Energy America Corp. has signed an agreement with Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, Inc. (MPS) to purchase 180 Mitsubishi MWT62/1.0 1MW turbines for installation in Texas. MPS previously supplied 41 of the 1MW turbines to Eurus’ Combine Hills project in Oregon in 2003.
The 1MW-rated MWT62/1.0 is Mitsubishi’s “workhorse” wind turbine design, with a fleet of more than 1,736 installed units worldwide reflecting millions of hours of reliable operating performance. According to Bob Rugh, Vice President of Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas’ (MPS) Newport Beach, CA-based Wind Turbine Group, “We’re pleased to enjoy a strong relationship with Eurus Energy and we’re excited that Mitsubishi technology is part of their plan.” Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas is the Western-hemisphere subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI, Japan) specializing in power generation systems sales, installation and service. Wind turbine generating equipment and systems are a core element of Mitsubishi’s alternative energy product line, which includes solar, geothermal and hydroelectric generating systems. |
