Vestas has received an order in the U.S. for a wind project co-developed with RES America Developments.
Highlighting the company’s increased focus on co-development, the order, placed by Southern Power, calls for 100 MW of V136-3.45 MW wind turbines for the Wildhorse Mountain Wind Facility, recently acquired by Southern Power.
The Oklahoma wind project was developed by Roaring Fork Wind, a joint venture partnership between RES America Developments and Steelhead Americas, Vestas’ development arm in North America.
“Southern Power has renewable energy facilities from coast to coast, and with this order, Vestas once again demonstrates its ability to leverage its vast experience across wind power plants’ entire value chain and develop solutions that meet specific customer needs,” says Chris Brown, president of Vestas’ sales and service division in the U.S. and Canada. “From the development stages with our co-development team, through to the long-term service agreement, Vestas offered solutions at every stage of the project lifecycle to ensure the lowest cost of energy, highest quality of technology and optimal park performance”.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. Turbine delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2019.
