Vestas has secured a 168 MW order for an undisclosed wind project in Mexico.
The order, which derives from a corporate power purchase agreement, includes the supply and installation of 42 wind turbines of Vestas’ 4 MW platform with V150 rotors. The order also includes an Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for operations and maintenance over the next five years.
The 73-meter-long blades will be manufactured locally at TPI Composites’ factory in Matamoros, Mexico. The towers will also be produced by local suppliers.
“This order showcases how Vestas’ technology can meet the increasing demand of private Mexican companies for clean, reliable and competitive energy,” says Agustín Sánchez-Tembleque, general manager of Vestas México.
Vestas says it “pioneered” the Mexican wind energy market when it installed the country’s first commercial turbine in 1994.
