Renewables & Environment - Pamplona, Navarre, Spain
United Energies MTOI is a Spanish manufacturer of wind power systems and specialist for gearless wind turbines in the 1.67 to 2.5 MW power class. The UE DirectDrive turbine family offers with its simplicity and modularity a long lifespan, high reliability and reduced maintenance costs while the highly developed control electronics maximises the energy output. This results in an increase of availability and, at the end, of profitability of the wind energy project.Founded in 1998 as part of the Research, Development and Implementation (RDI) program at M.TORRES Group, United Energies started producing wind turbines in 2001. In 2015, the Swiss investment company SwissEnergy AG acquired the wind turbine technologist and manufacturer to turn it into a high-tech wind industry developer providing emerging markets with solutions, to handle the increased interest in renewable energy sources and to export an industry for the production of wind turbines to the places of electricitydemand.During the technology transfer process, United Energies MTOI is offering different scopes of works with the final aim of local wind turbine manufacturing, local supply chain development and installation, maintenance and operation of the wind farms. The selected scope will depend on specific project needs, and it can be done in stages in order to minimise risks and initial investments. The full scope includes a license for: manufacturing, selling, quality assuring, installation, commissioning, and operation & maintenance of a high-tech direct drive wind turbine (UE 1.67 DirectDrive). United Energies MTOI aims to a close cooperation between parties as an important social and ethic business objective, offering a "shared experiences network" providing room for learning, participation and improvements.
