Montréal, Tuesday, March 27th, 2017 - Eocycles flagship EO25 direct drive wind turbine has achieved three significant new certifications, supporting the companys expansion in several markets. These certifications are: IEC 61400-2 (global markets), AWEA 9.1 (U.S.A.), and MCS (U.K.). The certifications were performed by SGS, a global leader in inspection, verification, testing and certification of wind turbines. They represent the highest standards in the industry and further validate the wind turbine design and performance.

"I am extremely proud of the ingenuity and hard work of the Eocycle team. These certifications solidify the new EO25 platform as the most competitive wind turbine in its class in the world. We have already received numerous inquiries from around the world and have many projects aligned for the months to come. I am looking forward to a great year," says Richard Legault, President and CEO of Eocycle.
