BEST PRODUCING TURBINES ALL ON SPANISH SOIL

In 1993 the best performing turbines in Europe were produced by Ecotècnia, Spain's second largest manufacturer, and the second best was the Dansih Vestas' V27 model. The 50 best performing turbines are all to be found on Spanish soil at Tarifa in southern Spain and on the Canary Islands. Performance was calculated on the basis of the power produced and the area swept by the blades (kWh/m2). Ecotècnia's lead has surprised the industry which had not expected to see Danish manufacturers displaced from the top ratings they obtained in 1992.
