EDF Renewables has placed a 249 MW order with Vestas for V120-2.2 MW turbines.
The turbines will be installed at the 273 MW Las Majadas wind project in Texas. The full project size includes previously purchased 2 MW Vestas components that qualify for the production tax credit.
“The execution of the Las Majadas turbine supply agreement is a reflection of the continued growth of the long-standing partnership between Vestas and EDF Renewables in North America,” comments Art Del Rio, vice president of wind technology strategy at EDF Renewables North America.
“We are pleased to expand our portfolio with EDF Renewables,” adds Chris Brown, president of Vestas’ sales and service division in the U.S. and Canada. “The V120-2.2 MW is an increasingly important part of our North American 2 MW fleet and our ability to deliver low-cost wind energy from new areas.”
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a five-year Active Output Management (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimized performance for the lifetime of the project.
Turbine delivery and commissioning are scheduled for the second and third quarters of next year, respectively.
