In a highly unusual announcement on its web site, Vestas confirmed that negotiations between itself and the Greengate Power Corporation in Canada are ongoing, but it emphasized that it had “not yet received a firm and unconditional order for the project”.
The company said it was making the announcement based in its obligation as a Danish listed company.
“If the negotiations between the customer and Vestas will result in a firm and unconditional order, Vestas will make a company announcement immediately thereafter,” the company’s statement continued.
The current discussions regard the possibility of supplying 166 wind turbines for Greengate’s Blackspring Ridge I wind project, which the developer has said it expects to construct by 2013.
With a capacity of 300 MW, the project is expected to become the largest wind energy project in Canada.
