Vestas (Aarhus, Denmark) reported on Dec. 11 that it has received a 234-megawatt (MW) order for two projects in the U.S. The two projects consist of 32 V150-4.2 MW turbines delivered in 4.3 MW Power Optimized Mode, 15 V162-6.0 MW EnVentus turbines, as well as eight V110-2.0 MW turbines, including 10 MW of previously purchased two MW PTC components. This EnVentus order takes the global order intake for the platform past 1,200 MW.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines as well as multi-year service agreements for both projects, designed to ensure optimized performance for the lifetime of the project. Turbine delivery is scheduled for the third and fourth quarter of 2021 with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022.
“We’re glad to expand the EnVentus portfolio in the U.S.,” says Eduardo Medina, president of Vestas’ sales and service division in the U.S. and Canada. “The EnVentus platform builds on our proven technology from the two MW, four MW and nine MW platforms to leverage proven technology and increase customzsed solutions to extract wind value around the world.”
