A network of 5-10 European testing facilities  250M€ (incl. EEPR) An EU cross-industrial cooperation and demonstration.. for mass production of wind systems EEPR = European Economic Plan for Recovery

© Euresearch  Julian Randall  European Wind – Swiss intelligence European Economic Plan for Recovery (EEPR) example funding for:  Nordsee Ost : 48 6MW turbines (RePower) on jacket foundations ; EEPR (€ 55 m) cofinances the supply of the turbines.  Borkum West, 1st phase: 40 5 MW turbines (Multibrid) on tripod foundations ; EEPR (€ 50 m) co-finances the turbines and tripods. New Entrance Reserve funding scheme  On-shore wind turbines optimised for complex terrains (e.g. forested terrains, mountainous areas): with nominal capacity 25 MW
