Vestas has announced a firm and unconditional order from Aurora Wind Power for 47 wind turbines, consisting of the company’s V90-2.0 model. Aurora Wind Power is a joint venture between GDF SUEZ, Investec and Kagiso Investment. The turbines will be installed at the Western Cape in South Africa and delivery is planned for the third quarter (Q3) of 2014 with commissioning to take place by May 2015.
“We are happy to announce this large order for South Africa and to construct our first wind power project together with Aurora Wind Power – all the more so in connection with a project company jointly owned by GDF SUEZ, already a long-term and highly valued Vestas customer” said Vestas Central Europe President, Thomas Richterich.
The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning along with a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution, full scope civil and electrical works and a 15-year full-scope service agreement (AOM 5000). The service package also offers customers assured performance aimed at the avoidance of unforeseen operational costs.
