Vestas receives wind turbine orders in Mexico, Sweden and Brazil

Wind turbine orders amounting to nearly 269 MW of generating capacity across several model categories have been added to the backlog of Vestas Wind Systems A/S (Randers, Denmark), the company reported on July 5, 2011. In recently signed contracts, Vestas will deliver 180 MW of its V90, V100, and V112 turbines to Eolus Vind for installation at wind farms in Sweden, 30 units of the V100-2MW turbine to Atlantic Energias Renovaveis S.A. for installation at the Renascena V and Eurus II wind power plants in the Rio Grande do Norte region of Brazil (previously reported on this blog) and 16 units of the V90-1.8MW turbine to REM Generacion Electrica Mexicana for a 28.8 MW project in Chiapas, Mexico. The contract with Eolus Vind includes an option for delivery of another 40 MW of turbines. The contracts with Atlantic Energias and REM include service and maintenance agreements including deployment of Vestas’ Active Output Management (AOM 4000 and 5000) packages.

Vestas is the predominant supplier in Saskatchewan and recently won a contract to supply 16 V82-1.65 MW wind turbines for the Red Lily Wind Project and previously supplied 83 V80-1.80 MW turbines to the Centennial wind farm in Saskatchewan. Vestas also supplied 63 V82-1.65 MW turbines to the nearby St. Leon wind farm in Manitoba. It is anticipated that Vestas would like to continue their dominance of the Saskatchewan market by supplying turbines for the 175 MW RFP and to the recently announced 25 MW Green Options Partners Program lottery winners.
