The contract includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines, along with a VestasOnline Business Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition solution and a 15-year service agreement.
Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has received firm and unconditional orders from the United Kingdom, Poland, and Turkey.
In the U.K., Vestas has received an order for 32 V164-8.0 MW turbines for the offshore Burbo Bank Extension project in Liverpool Bay. The order, which totals at 258 megawatts, was placed by DONG Energy.
The contract covers supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a five-year full-scope service contract.
The project will be delivered by MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, a joint venture company which Vestas owns 50 percent of. The project will not enter into the order backlog of Vestas.
In Poland, Vestas has received an order from Green Bear Corporation for 12 V112-3.0 MW turbines for a wind project in Radzyn.
Wind turbine delivery is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2015 with commissioning expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2015.
The contract includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines, along with a VestasOnline Business Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition solution and a 15-year service agreement.
“It is a pleasure for us to announce this order – the fourth one announced for Poland this year – and to further build on the long-term partnership with our highly valued customer, Green Bear Corporation. We are happy to be chosen as the wind turbine supplier and service provider for these wind power plants to consolidate our market leadership in Poland,” said Klaus Steen Mortensen, president of Vestas Northern Europe.
Meanwhile, in Turkey, Vestas has received a 34 MW order from Kangal Elektrik Uretim A.S. to construct the second phase of the Kangal RES wind power plant in the Sivas province.
The order is comprised of the supply and installation of 17 V110-2.0 MW wind turbines which correspond to 34 MW. The contract also includes an eight-year full-scope Active Output Management service agreement.
Turbine delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2015, with commissioning slated in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The first phase, Kangal RES, is already in operation with 22 V100-2.0 MW wind turbines, which provides green energy to around 227,000 people in Turkey. Upon completion of the second phase, the project will provide power to an additional 200,000 people in the country.
“Wind energy is leading the way to a renewable energy future in Turkey. Vestas is proud to have installed nearly 800 MW of wind power capacity in this country. The Kangal RES II wind farm is another step forward to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing the most severe impacts of climate change as well as lessening the dependency of energy imports,” said Marco Graziano, president of Vestas Mediterranean. – EcoSeed staff
