Construction On Pringle Wind Has Begun

r Wind Energy Constructors – a strategic and operational joint venture between Balfour Beatty Construction and Wind Energy Constructors, and SW1 – a joint venture between DeWind Energy Development and Higher Perpetual Energy – have announced that construction has commenced at the 20 MW Pringle Wind Farm in the Texas Panhandle. In early 2010, SW1's operational subsidiaries awarded DeWind Co. the $30 million contract, consisting of 10 units of DeWind's D8.2 model turbines. In late 2009, Balfour Beatty and Wind Energy Constructors formed their joint venture. In addition to the Pringle project, Balfour Wind Energy Constructors is currently constructing the 150 MW Phase I of the Alta Wind Energy Center near Tehachapi, Calif. Construction of the Pringle wind farm is scheduled for completion by the end of the third quarter of this year. SOURCE: [link=http://www.dewind.de/services-en/index.htm]DeWind
