REpower opens wind power technology centre

26 August 2010

REpower has officially opened its new wind turbine technology centre in Osterrönfeld in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district, Germany.

The wind turbine research and technology centre has approximately 11,700 m2 of floor space.

In addition to research activities and further development of the REpower wind turbines and products, the worldwide service and maintenance of onshore and offshore turbines will be organised from the Osterrönfeld location.

The relocation to the centre was completed with the installation of the Permanent Monitoring System (PMS).

Via the control centre of the PMS department, the global REpower fleet of more than 2500 wind turbines is remotely monitored around the clock.
