A-Power Energy Generation Systems' its wholly owned Chinese operating subsidiary, Liaoning GaoKe Energy Group, has received letters of intent for 380 2.5 MW wind turbines.

The company is presently engaged in negotiations to finalize these contracts and turn them into purchase orders. The first phase of the plant is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of this year.

Edward Meng, A-Power's CFO commented, "As we have previously announced, we have recently acquired rights to both 2.5 MW turbines from Fuhrlander AG of Germany and 225 kW and 750 kW turbines from Norwin A/S of Denmark and we are planning to begin producing these in our new facility in Shenyang later this year. At this time we are very glad to report that we have already received a number of letters of intent that aggregate to 380 units to purchase the 2.5 MW turbines."
