Gamesa Wind US LLC., a subsidiary of Gamesa Elica, has been selected by Horizon Wind Energy for the supply of up to 600 MW of wind turbines for projects located in the United States.
The agreement between Gamesa and Horizon involves the supply of the full line of Gamesa G8X-2.0 MW products, including the Gamesa G80, Gamesa G83, Gamesa G87, and Gamesa G90 wind turbines. Most of the manufacturing of these wind turbines will be carried out in the plants that the Spanish company owns in the US.
The frame agreement initially calls for the supply of 400 MW with an option for an additional 200 MW. The turbines will be installed during 2006 and 2007. The estimated value of this frame agreement, depending on its final scope and the combination of the wind turbine models, could reach up to $700 million.
“We are very pleased that Horizon has turned to Gamesa for their wind turbines needs. This transaction strengthens the position of Gamesa Wind in the US, which together with Chinais one of our target markets as we expand internationally,” said Iaki Lpez Gandsegui, Gamesa’s CEO.

We appreciate their commitment to the USmarket, and their turbines will be an important part of our growth over the next several years,” said Alec Dreyer, CEO of Horizon Wind Energy.
