Xantrex snags $10 million wind deal
Hmmm… some good news out of Xantrex for a change, even more interesting considering it’s related to wind, a market that has been somewhat flat for Xantrex over the past year. The company has a 2-year deal with Clipper Windpower in California to provide converters for its 2.5 megawatt wind turbines. The deal amounts to about $10 million (U.S.) in new revenues for Xantrex. “As our business continues to grow in North America and around the world, we expected Xantrex to be a significant long-term supplier,” said Clipper CEO James Dehlsen.
