Vestas has received an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) order for the 48 MW Guzmancitos wind park in the Dominican Republic.
To be located in the Puerto Plata region, the wind farm will feature 16 V136-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.0 MW load-optimized mode, to be supplied and installed by Vestas.
RGE placed the firm and unconditional order, which also includes a 10-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM5000) service agreement. The project is the fifth wind farm that Vestas will have installed in the country.
“The Dominican Republic is bidding for renewable energy sources to fulfill its energy consumption, which is growing rapidly,” says Enric Català, Vestas’ senior director of sales for Latin America. “Vestas pioneered the country’s wind energy market back in 2011, and with this order, we reinforce our leading position in the country.”
Turbine delivery and commissioning are planned for the first and third quarters of 2019, respectively, says Vestas.
