New types of plants under contract

Since 2009, the company has been serving the MD70/MD77 and MM82 series wind turbines built by Senvion (formerly REpower).
“The Senvion MM92 is based on the MD series and MM82. We can therefore make an excellent transition of our expertise to this 2-megawatt plant”, says seebaWIND managing director Severin Mielimonka. seebaWIND already completed the first maintenance contract for a wind farm with MM92 systems in January, a second will follow in mid-year.
