ENDESA to Build a New Wind Farm in France
November 27 2006 - 12:50PM
Business Wire
ENDESA (NYSE:ELE): The wind farm, located in Brittany, entails an
investment of Euro 13.4 million and will have installed capacity of
10 MW. This wind farm will result in environmental benefits in the
form of annual savings of approximately 22,000 tonnes of CO2
emissions. Construction of this wind complex falls under the
umbrella of ENDESA�s Strategic Plan, which envisages bringing on
line 200 MW of additional wind power in France via SNET in the next
two years. SNET, a subsidiary of ENDESA (NYSE:ELE), has begun
construction of the 10 MW capacity Ambon wind farm, situated in the
gulf of Morbihan in the region of Brittany. This complex will
entail investment of Euro 13.4 million and will consist of 6 wind
turbines, each with capacity of 1.67 MW. The site has a wind power
potential of approximately 2,217 equivalent hours per annum at full
throttle. Revenues from the wind farm are guaranteed by virtue of
the French decree dated 8 June, 2001 which stipulates that EDF must
purchase all energy produced by wind farms. From an environmental
standpoint, the wind farm�s annual output will result in annual
savings of approximately 22,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This
additional capacity falls under the umbrella of ENDESA�s Strategic
Plan and is provided for in SNET�s business plan, the objectives of
which include bringing installed wind capacity to 200 MW by 2008.
Snet continues to search for new opportunities, guided by its
strategic imperative of minimising risk during the development
stage. These initiatives reaffirm ENDESA�s commitment to the
environment and sustainable development, where it is in line with
the French government�s policy target of generating 21% of energy
consumption from renewable sources, as provided for in the related
European Directive. In addition to the Ambon wind farm, ENDESA
currently has another 10 MW wind farm under construction in France:
the L�haucourt farm, situated in Picardy in the region of l�Aisne.
It is expected to be operational in February 2007 and will entail
an estimated investment of Euro 10 million. * This document may
