AAER choses AMSC for wind turbine licence


2007-10-03 08:35 ET - News Release

Mr. Dave Gagnon reports

AMSC SELLS FIRST NORTH AMERICAN WIND TURBINE LICENSE TO CANADA'S AAER INC.

American Superconductor Corp., a leading energy technologies company, has signed two licensing contracts with AAER Inc. Under the terms of the contracts, AMSC's wholly owned Windtec subsidiary will license to AAER the design for its WT-2000sg, a proprietary two-megawatt wind turbine. The licences provide AAER with the right to manufacture, sell and commission the wind turbines in Canada, the United States, Mexico, France and the United Kingdom.

In addition to multimillion-dollar upfront licence fees, AMSC will receive royalties for every WT-2000sg wind turbine commissioned by AAER and will sell to AAER the electrical system components essential to the operation of the turbines.

"AMSC's unique design capabilities are an ideal fit for AAER -- the first wind turbine manufacturer in Canada," said Dave Gagnon, president and chief executive officer of AAER. "AMSC is enabling us to quickly enter rapidly growing markets with its unique two-megawatt turbine designs, which we believe will give us a competitive edge in these markets."

The Global Wind Energy Council reports that wind power capacity in North America grew 33 per cent in 2006 to 13,062 megawatts. Wind power in the United Kingdom and France, meanwhile, grew by 48 per cent and 107 per cent, respectively.

"We are very pleased with the momentum we have continued to build in the global wind energy market," said AMSC founder and chief executive officer Greg Yurek. "AAER is the fourth new customer for our wind turbine designs since we acquired Windtec in January, 2007. AAER also marks our first alliance with a North American wind turbine manufacturer. With AAER's expertise and the tremendous growth in wind energy taking place in North America and Europe, I believe this new business relationship will provide additional growth for both of our companies."

MERIGNAC. -- L'entreprise québécoise AAER étudie la création d'une
unité d'assemblage de turbines en Gironde

Eoliennes : le vent porteur du Québec
: Bernard Broustet



C'est loin d'être une certitude, mais c'est un scénario qui commence à
mobiliser sérieusement les acteurs locaux : La société canadienne
AAER, spécialisée dans la fabrication d'éoliennes et dont les
dirigeants ont rencontré hier Alain Juppé, étudie un projet
d'implantation industrielle en Gironde.
AAER est une jeune entreprise québécoise cotée en Bourse, qui exploite
la licence d'un des meilleurs spécialistes allemands de l'éolienne.
Ayant décidé de prendre pied en Europe, c'est à Mérignac qu'elle vient
d'implanter, il y a quelques semaines, un bureau commercial qui ne
compte à ce jour que deux salariés.

Le soutien des Verts. Dave Gagnon, PDG d'AAER, a noué des relations
avec Jean-Yves Grandidier, patron de la société béglaise Valorem, qui
est un des principaux spécialistes français de la réalisation de parcs
d'éoliennes. Et la venue d'AAER a été chaudement encouragée par Gérard
Chausset, vice-président écologiste de la CUB, qui rêve de voir le
complexe aérospatial girondin se diversifier dans les énergies
renouvelables.
AAER pourrait ne pas se contenter de vendre en France des éoliennes
importées du Canada. Selon Jean-Yves Grandidier, qui est en train de
créer une coentreprise avec la société québecoise, celle-ci pourrait
aussi fabriquer son matériel en Europe. Si ce scénario se réalise, il
pourrait se concrétiser dans un premier temps par l'assemblage de
turbines destinées à convertir en énergie le mouvement des
gigantesques pales.
Il n'est pas encore certain qu'AAER passe à l'acte, ni qu'elle
choisisse la Gironde, mais le fait d'avoir ouvert son bureau
commercial à Mérignac témoigne de son intérêt pour la région. Et
Jean-Yves Grandidier s'emploie à convaincre Dave Gagnon des atouts
industriels de la métropole aquitaine.
Dans cette perspective, les dirigeants d'AAER ont participé, vendredi
à la CUB, à une réunion présidée par Gérard Chausset et à laquelle
assistaient notamment le chargé du développement économique André
Delpont, ainsi que des représentants du Port autonome et de l'agence
BRA, en charge de l'accueil des investisseurs.

70 emplois directs. Plusieurs communes comme Blanquefort, Bassens,
Mérignac, voire Pauillac, ont été évoquées pour accueillir une
activité industrielle dont AAER et Valorem souhaitent, pour des
raisons de délais, qu'elle soit implantée dans un bâtiment déjà
existant.
Selon Jean-Yves Grandidier, une décision pourrait être prise dès cet
été. Le montage des turbines pourrait contribuer à la création de 70
emplois directs et à beaucoup plus d'emplois indirects. Quant aux
pales, c'est une autre affaire, qui n'interviendrait que plus tard,
mais qui pourrait avoir aussi de grosses retombées. Le nouveau
ministre de l'Ecologie, qui a porté hier sur la place publique un
dossier jusque-là plutôt confidentiel, fera sans doute tout ce qui est
en son pouvoir pour le faire aboutir.



Communiqué de presse envoyé le 04 /06/07 par la mairie de Bordeaux

Pour information.



Alain Juppé, ministre d'Etat, ministre de l'écologie, du développement
et de l'aménagement durables, a reçu ce lundi 4 juin les dirigeants
d'un groupe canadien spécialisé dans le montage de nacelles et la
fabrication d'éoliennes.



Ce groupe, qui vient d'ouvrir un bureau à Mérignac, souhaite étendre
ses activités en Europe et en France. L'entretien a porté sur le
marché des éoliennes à haute capacité en Amérique du Nord et sur les
possibilités de développement.
