German wind turbine manufacturer REpower Systems AG has entrusted DNV with the manufacturing survey of its wind turbine blades in both Denmark and Spain.
Building on its well-established design certification services, DNV is now experiencing increased demand also for verification services in the wind energy business.
REpower is expecting to manufacture over 1,000 individual blades this year at its subcontractor’s, LM’s, manufacturing facilities in Denmark and Spain, with possible expansion into India and China in 2008. The contract decision with DNV coincides with REpower’s first ever US delivery contract, with the turbines to be manufactured in Germany and the blades to be manufactured in Spain.
