미국의 최대 규모 풍력개발 전력회사인 FPL 에너지(FPL Energy)와 PPM 에너지(PPM Energy)는 총 설비용량 900MW의 풍력터빈을 구매함으로써 내년부터 설치에 들어가는 대규모 풍력 에너지 프로젝트에 착수했다.
FPL 에너지사는 지멘스(Siemens)의 2.3MW급 풍력터빈이 내년에 미국으로 들여올 예정이다. 지멘스 발전사(Siemens Power Generation)는 FPL 에너지에 총 600MW 용량의 풍력터빈을 판매하기로 합의했으며 공급은 2006년도에 개시한다고 9월 14일 발표했다. FPL에 공급하는 풍력터빈은 지멘스사의 2.3MW급 Mk II 터빈이고, 지멘스가 제작, 설치 및 커미셔닝 운전까지 수행한다. 지멘스의 이번 공급합의는 미국에 대한 첫 판매를 기록하는 것이다.
지멘스(Siemens AG)의 계열회사인 PGG(Power Generation Group)는 국제 전력부문의 최고 업체 중의 하나이며, 2004 회기년도(9월 30일 종료)에 지멘스 PG는 거의 75억 유로의 매출을 기록했고, 총 92억 유로의 수주를 기록했다. 이 그룹의 수익은 9억 6,100만 유로를 기록했고, 2004년 9월 30일 현재 세계적으로 30,900명의 인력을 거느리고 있다. 이와 관련된 보다 자세한 정보는 지멘스의 관련 웹페이지(www.siemens.com/powergeneration, http://www.siemens.com/index.jsp?sdc_contentid=1309529)를 참조할 수 있다.
FPL(Florida Power & Light) 에너지사는 천연가스, 풍력, 태양력, 수력 및 원자력 설비를 운영하고 있는 미국의 거대 도매 전력회사이다. 이 전력회사는 특히 미국 15개 주에 45개의 풍력시설을 보유하고 있는 풍력부문의 선두회사이다. FPL사(FPL Company)는 플로리다주의 430만 고객에게 전력을 공급하고 있는 미국 내 최대 규모의 전력유틸리티 중의 하나이며, FPL 그룹의 보다 자세한 정보는 관련 웹페이지(www.FPLEnergy.com, www.FPLGroup.com 및 www.FPL.com)를 참조할 수 있다.
한편 PPM 에너지사는 같은 날 2006년도에 활용하기 위해 총 300MW 용량의 풍력터빈을 구매하기로 GE 에너지사와 합의했다고 발표했다. 지난달 PPM 에너지사는 오리건주 와스코(Wasco) 인근에 총 75MW급 클론다익(Klondike) II 풍력발전소의 건설을 완료했다.
또한 PPM 에너지사는 금년 중에 다른 4개의 풍력 프로젝트를 완료할 수 있을 것으로 전망하고 있다. 그 4개의 프로젝트는 미네소타주의 100MW급 트리몬트(Trimont) 프로젝트, 캔사스주의 150MW급 엘크리버(Elk River) 프로젝트, 캘리포니아주의 150MW급 쉴로(Shiloh) 프로젝트 및 뉴욕주의 198MW급 메이플 리지(Maple Ridge) 프로젝트 등이다. 이에 대한 보다 자세한 정보는 PPM 에너지사의 관련 웹페이지(http://www.ppmenergy.com/rel_05.09.14.html)를 참조할 수 있다.
PPM 에너지사는 현재 미국 내 7개 주에서 운전 중인 약 830MW 용량의 풍력설비를 소유하고 있으며, 2005년도에 574MW의 풍력설비를 추가로 건설한다고 발표한 바 있다. PPM 에너지는 현재 약 1,400MW 용량의 풍력설비를 소유하고 있으며, 2010년까지 이 용량을 2,300MW까지 증강시킨다는 계획이다. 이 전력회사는 풍력설비에서 생산되는 거의 대부분의 전력을 장기 계약으로 전력 도매 고객에게 판매한다는 공급전략을 유지하고 있다.

Siemens Power Generation announced on September 14th an agreement to sell 600 megawatts of wind turbines to FPL Energy, with delivery beginning in 2006. Siemens will manufacture, install, and commission its 2.3-megawatt Mk II turbines for FPL Energy, marking the first sale of Siemens wind turbines within the United States. See the Siemens press release.
PPM Energy announced on the same day that it has agreed to buy 300 megawatts of wind turbines from GE Energy for use in 2006. In August, PPM Energy completed construction on its 75-megawatt Klondike II Wind Power Plant near Wasco, Oregon, and the company expects to complete four other wind power projects this year: the 100-megawatt Trimont project in Minnesota, the 150-megawatt Elk River project in Kansas, the 150-megawatt Shiloh project in California, and the 198-megawatt Maple Ridge project in New York.

Siemens receives order from FPL Energy for up to 600 megawatts of wind turbines
Erlangen, Sep 14, 2005
Siemens Power Generation (Siemens) today announced an agreement with FPL Energy, the wholesale generation subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE: FPL) for wind turbines totaling up to 600 megawatts (MW).
Siemens will manufacture, install and commission its 2.3-MW Mk II wind turbines for FPL Energy. Delivery of the wind turbines will begin in 2006 and support the planned expansion of wind-driven electricity generation projects at FPL Energy.
“This agreement with FPL Energy is important because it is the first wind power contract for our growing wind power business in the Americas region since Siemens acquired Bonus Energy last December,” said Randy Zwirn, member, Siemens Power Generation Executive Management and president and CEO, Siemens Power Generation, Inc.
“The wind power business, especially in the U.S. and Canada, is more favorable now than it was in the past,” added Zwirn. “With the increased focus on clean renewable energy, as well as high natural gas prices and volatility, wind power is an increasingly attractive alternative. In addition, the recently passed Federal Energy Policy Act includes provisions for subsidies and tax credits for the development of renewable energy, which enhances the attractiveness for our customers.”
\"Wind projects continue to be an important part of the growth strategy for FPL Energy,” said Jim Robo, president of FPL Energy. \"The recent passage of the Energy Policy Act that contains a two-year extension of the wind production tax credit enables us to execute, without interruption, our wind development program. As the leading U.S. wind power company, it is important for FPL Energy to secure a reliable and economic source of wind turbines for use in projects we are developing today and into the future. This new turbine agreement with Siemens provides us with a platform to deploy turbines early next year,” said Robo.
The Power Generation Group (PG), a unit of Siemens AG, is one of the premier entities in the international power generation sector. In fiscal 2004 (which ended September 30), Siemens PG posted sales amounting to approximately EURO 7.5 billion and received new orders totaling EURO 9.2 billion. Group profit amounted to EURO 961 million. On September 30, 2004, PG had a workforce of approximately 30,900 worldwide. Further information at: www.siemens.com/powergeneration.
FPL Energy is a leading wholesale generator utilizing clean fuels such as natural gas, wind, solar, hydroelectric and nuclear to generate electricity. It is the nation\'s leader in wind energy, with 45 wind facilities in operation in 15 states. It is a subsidiary of FPL Group, one of the nation\'s largest providers of electricity-related services. FPL Group\'s principal subsidiary is Florida Power & Light Company, one of the nation\'s largest electric utilities, serving 4.3 million customer accounts in Florida.

PPM secures 300 MW of new wind turbines
September 14, 2005
PORTLAND, Ore. — PPM Energy, ScottishPower\'s (NYSE: SPI) competitive US energy business, today announced that it has agreed to purchase 300 megawatts (MW) of wind turbines from GE Energy for use in projects in late stage development expected to be built during calendar 2006.
\"This turbine order for 2006 delivery, coupled with options and other pending turbine arrangements, will enable PPM Energy to continue to grow its profitable wind business at a similar rate as in the past,\" said Terry Hudgens, PPM Energy CEO.
In August, PPM Energy completed construction ahead of schedule on its 75-megawatt Klondike II Wind Power Plant near Wasco, Ore. Portland General Electric (PGE) has a 30-year agreement with PPM Energy to purchase all of Klondike II\'s wind capacity to serve PGE customers beginning in December 2005.
PPM Energy also expects this year to complete four other wind power projects Ð the 100 MW Trimont project in Minnesota, the 150 MW Elk River project in Kansas, the 150 MW Shiloh project in California and the 198 MW Maple Ridge project in New York that PPM is building as a joint venture with Horizon Wind Energy, a unit of Goldman Sachs.
About PPM Energy
PPM Energy controls about 830 MW of wind energy currently operating in seven states and has announced a total of 574 MW of additional wind projects to be built in 2005. It now has around 1,400 MW of wind energy under its control, well on target toward its goal of at least 2,300 MW online by 2010. PPM Energy balances its supply portfolio with sales to wholesale customers, placing almost all of its output in long-term contracts.
Major customers include the cities of Seattle, Sacramento, Pasadena, Anaheim as well as investor-owned utilities such as Alliant Energy and Xcel Energy and the federal Bonneville Power Administration. PPM Energy also has about 800 MW of clean gas resources under its control to give customers a wide range of options for adding environmentally responsible energy to their portfolios. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Center for Resource Solutions honored PPM Energy recently for significantly advancing development of the green power market.
