With a view to the expansion of the business connected to renewable energy, consistent with our mission to balance the oil and gas sector with the renewable energy, and in order to broaden our expertise in the service sector, Progeco has just signed a contract with REpower, the German leader in wind power.
On this purpose Progeco has appointed for REpower two of our technicians. They will specialise in the maintenance of wind turbines installed by REpower.
The course, that our technicians will attend in the southern Italy for about a month, is organized in a session of theoretical lessons regarding safety and specifications about wind turbines, after which our technicians will begin a field training on the wind generators. At the end a specialisation training is scheduled at the headquarters in Germany and then they will start field working.
This training course, with a view of business strategy, will give us the opportunity for a further expansion in the field of renewable energy during 2011 and over.
