Vestas Receives Order From Capital Power Corp.

Vestas has received an order from Capital Power Corp. via Capital Power LP – the legal entity that holds Capital Power's Ontario and British Columbia wind project assets – to supply and commission 44 V100-1.8 MW and 35 V90-1.8 MW wind turbines at Capital Power's proposed Quality Wind Project in British Columbia.

The turbines are expected to be delivered and commissioned in 2012. Capital Power will be responsible for the installation of the turbines and towers. The order also includes a 10-year service and maintenance agreement.

In addition to the 142 MW order, Capital Power Corp. has also placed an option for an additional 375 MW comprising 58 V90-1.8 MW wind turbines for the 105 MW Port Dover and Nanticoke wind project in Ontario and 150 V90-1.8 MW turbines for the proposed 270 MW Kingsbridge II project, also located in Ontario.

This option is contingent upon provincial environmental and regulatory approvals. Should all three projects be developed, Vestas would deliver a total of 287 turbines to Capital Power.
