“We are proud that Leeward Renewable Energy has selected Diamond to service its wind farms which, in turn, contribute to America’s energy independence,” said Harm Toren, President and CEO of Diamond.
“Their decision is a reflection of the quality of our technicians, our commitment to client service and the trust Leeward has in our ability to address all aspects of wind turbine operations,” he added.
Diamond and Leeward finalized the extension of customized Maintenance & Service Agreements under which Diamond will be responsible for the performance of scheduled maintenance, minor corrective repairs, gearbox management, and supply of spare parts for the following wind projects:
