The upgrades for wind turbines will increase the efficiency of existing wind turbine generators.

EDP Renewables North America operations executive vice president Brian Hayes said EDP Renewables always seeks to have its fleet running at peak performance with maximum efficiency and Vestas has been fantastic in delivering the technology that allows us to do just that.

"EDP Renewables and Vestas have been partners for many years and we are excited to take this partnership to the next level by incorporating this new Vestas PowerPlus offering into a portion of our Vestas fleet," Hayes added.

Vestas PowerPlus comprises three products including power uprate (V82-1.65MW, V90-1.8MW and V100-1.8MW); extended cut out (V90-3.0MW, V100-1.8/2.0MW); and aerodynamic upgrades (V82-1.65MW).

Vestas US and Canada sales and service division president Chris Brown said since the launch of the Vestas PowerPlus solutions, Vestas has seen considerable interest from the market.

"Signing our first order for Vestas PowerPlus solutions so quickly after the official launch demonstrates that there is strong customer demand for this product," Brown added.
