D.I.T.T. of Paris, France signed a license agreement with Carter Wind Systems (CWS) of Burkburnett, Texas, earlier this year. The details of the agreement as well as future plans for a joint venture between the two companies are discussed. Under the first phase of the agreement D.I.T.T. will purchase a few key components made by CWS for use in wind turbines to be manufactured in France. After D.I.T.T. has purchased 200 sets of components CWS will turn that part of the technology over to the company for its own use. D.I.T.T. will then pay a royalty on machines sold after that. However, D.I.T.T. has the option to purchase the technology outright at any time before the first 200 sets are sold. In the US, D.I.T.T. and CWS are making plans to install wind projects through a joint venture, called International Wind Systems. Several possible projects are being explored. The most promising project is one which would be built on lands owned by US Windpower in the Altamont Pass area of California. The plan calls for installing the machines in stages - groups of twenty 300 kW machines. These turbines will be manufactured at the CWS factory in Texas, since the machines made in France will be designed for operation at 50 hertz.
