Vestas has received the first orders for its V136-4.2 MW turbine in North America.
The orders, totaling 146 MW across multiple projects in Canada, include supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines, as well as five-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreements.
“We’re pleased to bring Vestas’ 4 MW platform and installation capabilities to Canada to unlock record-breaking-low wind costs across the country,” says Chris Brown, president of Vestas’ sales and service division in the U.S. and Canada. “The V136 turbine is an ideal fit for the local wind and land resource profile and will deliver clean, low-cost wind energy and many economic benefits to the local community.”
Deliveries and commissioning are scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively.
