Gamesa Eolica has received orders for 38, G83 -2.0-megawatt turbines to be installed at wind farms known as Cristo Bailones and Alhambra located in Alhambra, Membrilla, La Solana and San Carlos del Valle, Spain.

The company will also supply 23 turbines of 850-kilowatts each for the San Esteban wind farm also in Spain as well as 18, G87, 2.0-megawatt turbines for Spanish power company Ibereolica.

Stretching its wings a little farther to the African Continent, Gamesa has been given a contract by the Egyptian New and Renewable Development Authority (NREA) to supply 100, 850-kilowatt turbines for a wind project in Zafarana. In addition to this 85-megawatt order, Gamesa is hoping to win another 120 megawatt contract when a new request for wind energy is put forth by NREA in 2004. Visit Gamesa at http://www.gamesa.es/ .
