Winergy to Rebuild Turbine Gearboxes for First Wind

First Wind has contracted Winergy Drive Systems Corporation (WDSC) to rebuild gearboxes for some of its Clipper wind turbines for wind farms across the country, from Vermont to Hawaii.

 

The multiyear contract sees WDSC expand its services to include remanufacturing of gearboxes built by competitors. WDSC will offer the ability to dissemble the 97,000-pound Clipper gearbox, replace parts with new components and complete a full-load test before returning it back to the customer.

 

First Wind originally purchased the wind turbines from Clipper Windpower.
