The REpower MM100 is based on the well-established REpower MM series. As such, it incorporates all the
experience and expertise that derive from our 1,700 operational REpower MM70, MM82 and MM92 wind turbines.

With its high Net Capacity Factor, the new variant has been optimized to achieve rated power even at low wind
speeds. This enables the wind farm to secure a constant power supply, making efficient use of the available grid Europe Production, Service REpower Systems Scandinavia AB
