A-Power Renews Wind Turbines License Agreement with Führlander

Pursuant to the renewed license agreement, Fuhrlander granted A-Power the right to manufacture, operate, service and sell 2.5 MW wind turbines using Furhlander’s F2500 technology throughout China.

"This license agreement with Fuhrlander represents a great opportunity for A-Power to bolster its position in the market of high capacity 2.5 MW wind turbines, as the wind industry is increasingly transitioning to higher capacity wind turbines," Mr. Jinxiang Lu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of A-Power, commented.

"Wind farm business is a key component of our long-term growth strategy for A-Power. We’re very excited with the prospects that our partnership with Fuhrlander provides, which will allow us to continue to extend our presence in the market and to realize our goal of becoming a leading turbine manufacturer in China."
