REpower Systems SE, part of wind turbine maker Suzlon group, has bagged an order worth 90 million euros (over Rs 639 crore) for four wind power projects in Germany.

A contract has been received from Burgerwindpark im Kirchspiel Medelby GmbH & Co KG for supplying 27 wind turbines to four projects worth 90 million euros, Suzlon said in a statement today.

The turbines are scheduled to be delivered next year and the projects are located in Northern Schleswig-Holstein near the Danish border.
