Eolus has signed an agreement with ewz, an electric utility enterprise, for the sale of 29 wind turbines in south western Sweden for 95 million euro. As part of the agreement Eolus has been entrusted to provide technical services to ewz for a period of twelve years and administrative services for a period of four years in order to maximize outcome and production from the wind turbines. The deal is the single largest in the history of Eolus.
