Vestas Wins 138 MW Repower Wind Project in US

Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has won the 138 MW order to repower a wind project in the United States. 

Under this order, the company will be replacing 73 existing V80-1.8 MW turbines with a total of 73 V110-2.0 MW turbines, including previously purchased 2 MW components.

With the largest global installed capacity and service base, the company has been uniquely positioned to harness operational and technical insights gained from the largest wind data repository in the world, to develop repowering solutions for Vestas and non-Vestas wind turbines alike.

Repowering offers solutions for asset owners facing the higher operation and maintenance costs of an aging fleet and mitigates the complexities of sourcing spare parts for obsolete technology. 

The order includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines as well as 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.

Moreover, the turbine delivery is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2021 with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021. The customer and project are undisclosed per the customer’s request.

Meanwhile, the company design, manufacture, install, and service wind turbines across the globe. It has already installed over 122 GW of wind turbines in 82 countries and more than 108 GW of wind turbines under service.
