Vestas has announced two new wind turbine orders in the U.S.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) placed an order for 143 MW of V126-3.45 MW turbines for the Bearkat II Wind project in Texas. The Bearkat I project, commissioned in 2017, also features V126-3.45 MW turbines.
Including previously purchased components, the Bearkat II project will have a total capacity of 162 MW.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 30-year service agreement, which also includes balance-of-plant operations and maintenance. Deliveries and commissioning are expected in the third and fourth quarters of this year, respectively.
“We are pleased to continue the good collaboration with Vestas on the extension of Bearkat. Vestas has proven their ability to deliver optimized project performance and reliability,” says Michael Hannibal, partner at CIP.
Separately, Vestas received a 182 MW order for V150-4.2 MW turbines for an undisclosed U.S. project.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 10-year AOM 5000 service agreement.
Deliveries and commissioning are expected in the second and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively.
