In the US, Vestas has received a 59 MW order from leading renewable energy asset manager Greenbacker Capital Management to power the Moscow Wind project in Maine, USA. The order consists of 14 V150-4.2 MW turbines.
“We look forward to partnering with Greenbacker and transforming this unique site, which housed a former Air Force radar defense system, into a clean energy hub” said Laura Beane, President of Vestas North America. “The Moscow Wind project will help bring Maine one step closer to achieving its goal of 100 percent of the state’s electricity coming from renewable resources by 2050.”
The order includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a multi-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.
Turbine delivery begins in the second quarter of 2024 with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of 2024.
Elsewhere in the US, Vestas has received a 423 MW order featuring 4 MW platform wind turbines to power an undisclosed wind farm. The order includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.
Turbine delivery begins in 2024 with commissioning scheduled in 2025.
In Spain, Vestas has secured a 100 MW order for several wind farms, including the supply and installation of 20 V150-4.2 MW and four V150-4.2 MW wind turbines delivered in 4.0 operating mode, as well as a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
“We are glad to see how our 4MW platform and the V150-4.2 MW, one of the most sold turbine variants in the Vestas portfolio, continues to contribute to Spain’s energy transition” said Agustín Sánchez Tembleque, Vestas General Manager for Spain and Portugal. “The reliability of Vestas technology and our unmatched service expericience in the country provide our customers with long-term business case certainty and help them optimise thier projects’ energy production.”
Projects names and customer are undisclosed.
Turbine delivery is expected to start in the second quarter of 2024.
The project will benefit from Vestas’ strong manufacturing footprint in Spain. The company currently manufactures V150 blades at its factory in Daimiel (Ciudad Real). Vestas has installed more than 5.1 GW of wind energy in over 130 wind farms in Spain since installing the first turbine in 1991.
In Japan, Vestas has secured a 55 MW order with RENOVA, Inc. for the Reihoku Amakusa Onshore Wind project in Kumamoto prefecture. The company will supply 13 Vestas V117-4.2 MW wind turbines to the project. The turbines will be installed with a high-tower solution with 112-meter hub heights in order to unlock new wind resources at higher and more consistent wind speeds.
The order also includes a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the wind farm.
“We are delighted to once again partner with RENOVA. This will be our first collaboration in Japan, building upon the success of our previous three projects in Vietnam” said Purvin Patel, President of Vestas Asia Pacific. “We remain committed to contribute to Japan’s carbon neutrality goal, through our industry-leading wind energy solutions and strong partnership with our customers.”
Turbine delivery will begin in the fourth quarter of 2024, with commissioning scheduled for completion in 2026.
