Beijing, 16 January 2012. Gamesa, a global technology leader in wind energy, has signed a deal to supply an additional 50 MW of capacity -its G97-2.0 MW wind turbine- to Chinese company Longyuan for a wind farm the power company will build in Ningxia. Gamesa expects these additional 50 MW to be installed in June 2012.

These contracts coincide with the start-up of manufacturing of this turbine model in China, which will be produced simultaneously in four regions around the world: Europe, USA, China and India.
