SSE Renewables is incrementally expanding its onshore wind pipeline through the acquisition of land and development rights to a 134 MW onshore wind portfolio in Germany.

According to a new report by Wood Mackenzie, China’s wind repowering market is expected to grow rapidly from 2023.

The newly founded VSB Renewable Energy Korea Ltd., a subsidiary of VSB Group, secures a 35 MW wind project.

WRS Towers, the Taganrog-based manufacturer has been named official supplier of towers for Siemens Gamesa wind turbines. WRS plans to produce more than 10 towers for Siemens Gamesa by the end of 2019, and more than 85 by the end of 2020.
