Find out about wind energy and how windmills and wind turbines can make a difference, from the smallest home turbine to the huge wind farms.

Carpinteria, California (PRWEB) September 25, 2007 -- Clipper Windpower Plc today announced that it will supply 120 units, or 300 MW, of Clipper's 2.5 MW Liberty wind turbines to BP for delivery in 2009. This 300 MW transaction is among up to 2,250 MW of wind turbine sales contracts envisioned in the Strategic Turbine Supply And Joint Development Agreement (the "Agreement") between Clipper and BP announced on July 14, 2006. With the addition of this latest contract, firm wind turbine sales orders, including wind turbine supply for a joint development completed under the Agreement currently total 650 MW for deliveries through 2009.

"We are delighted with BP's continued momentum and leadership in bringing new renewable energy supply to its worldwide customers" said James G.P. Dehlsen, chairman and CEO of Clipper Windpower.

Designed to address current industry gearbox and other component deficiencies and minimize unscheduled maintenance events, the Liberty wind turbine distributes torque loads four times more efficiently than conventional machines through its patented Quantum Drive? Distributed Generation Powertrain. Proprietary permanent magnet generator technology delivers higher powertrain efficiency, and variable speed operation is achieved in a simpler and more efficient manner. The on-board hoist, with a 2-ton capacity, simplifies maintenance and significantly reduces maintenance costs. Turbine installation can be accomplished with a crane sized for most commercial 1.5 MW units. Manufactured at Clipper's 330,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the 2.5 MW Liberty machine is the largest wind turbine built in the United States.
