Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems said that it has received an order for a total of 76 units of the V90-3MW turbine for two projects in Romania. The order has been placed by EDP Renovaveis.
According to the company, the contract comprises supply, installation, a VestasOnline Business supervisory control and data acquisition service, as well as a five-year service agreement. The first turbines are expected to be installed by the end of 2009.
The total annual production of the two wind power plants will save the environment from more than 195,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year, claims the company.
Juan Araluce, president of Vestas Mediterranean, said: We are pleased with this order from EDP Renovaveis. In the currently challenging economic and financial scenario, it is important to receive this sign of confidence in our products and our technology from a company like EDP Renovaveis.
Earlier in the last week of March 2009, Vestas declared that it has received an order from EDF Energies Nouvelles for delivery of 37 x V90-2.0 MW wind turbines for Sardinia, Italy. The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines and a five-year service agreement. The wind turbines will be delivered to a project in the municipality of Bonorva in Sardinia during 2009 and 2010.
