The scope of the contract includes delivery, installation and commissioning of 10 V100-2 MW wind turbines at the plant.

Eole-Res managing director Matthieu Guerard said, "We have been partnering with Vestas since 2002 and for our new wind power plant we once again chose Vestas as its offer met our requirements in terms of solid technology, cost of energy and past partnership and business experiences."

The contract also includes a 15 year service and availability agreement.

The turbines are expected to be delivered by the first quarter of 2014 with the aim of bringing the machines operation in the second quarter of 2014.

Vestas France general manager Nicolas Wolff said having always firmly believed in France’s wind energy potential, it is rewarding to see that the experience and the long-lasting partnerships the company has been building are paying off.

"Today, we reaffirm our support to Eole-Res and their commitment to renewables, as well as to the Champagne-Ardenne region and its regional scheme objective of 2,870MW by 2020."
