Combining forces, ROMO Wind, WindHunter and PGE optimise wind farms Galicja and Kisielice in Poland.
ROMO Wind is delighted to announce the cooperation with PGE Energia Odnawialna (PGE EO) which is responsible for the development of renewable energy sources within PGE Group – the largest Polish onshore wind operator with 550MW installed capacity across Gamesa G90 and G87 wind turbines. ROMO Wind will support PGE EO in Galicja and Kisielice II wind farms in Poland. ROMO Wind’s innovative iSpin technology of spinner-mounted anemometers will be installed on 12 turbines in the PGE fleet in order to precisely measure wind, correct yaw misalignments, enable power curve verification and optimal data analytical conclusions aiding longer asset life.
