Senvion Unveils New 4.2 MW Turbines for North American Market

Denver, USA / Hamburg, Germany – The wind turbine manufacturer Senvion unveils its 4.2 MW platform, the 4.2M140 and 4.2M148, based on the company's proven 3.XM series.

As Senvion points out, the 4.2 MW turbines are best suited for low and medium wind sites and therefore are an excellent choice for the US.

The 4.2 MW is a direct evolution of Senvion's proven 3. XM series. These turbines are set to generate a significant increase in AEP, while driving down LCoE. According to the company, Senvion's highly modular platform enables delivery of very competitive products across wind regimes. The 4.2M140 and 148 are designed for more efficiency, higher availability and lower transport, installation, and service costs, so Senvion says.

Lance Marram, CEO Senvion of North America, explains: "The 4.2M140 and 148 are the logical next step in our product line for the US, and initial market indications are extremely positive. The 4.2 MW platform is driving down LCoE, maximizing yields and -considering our strong track record- creating long term business case certainty for our customers' investments." Marram adds: "Over the last year we have made significant strides in technology and supply chain to strengthen our competitive edge; the 4.2 MW platform is a clear result of that."
