Vestas has secured 703MW of contracts for projects in Spain, Germany, India and repowering two sites in the US.
The turbine manufacturer received a 140MW order for the Cerrato, Atalayas and San Cebrián wind parks, to be located in Castilla y León, Spain.
The contract includes the supply and installation of 20 V163-4.5MW wind turbines and 11 V150-4.5MW wind turbines, as well as a 10-year 4000 Active Output Management (AOM 4000) service agreement.
The San Cebrián and Cerrato wind parks will feature the first V163-4.5MW wind turbines in Europe.
The V163-4.5 MW has a large rotor-size-to-rating ratio resulting in a high capacity factor, which in turn enables higher Annual Energy Production and more stable power output at park level, Vestas said.
This improves predictability and stability in production, optimising the utilisation of the wind park as well as benefitting the energy grid, it added.
The order has been placed by Estudios y Proyectos Pradamap y Cerrato Eólica (Grupo Vapat).
Vestas has also received an order from JUWI GmbH for five wind projects in Germany totalling 63MW.
The order includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.
The order consists of the Windpark Olsberg Mannstein in North Rhine-Westphalia with seven V126-3.45MW turbines, the Windpark Perl-expansion in Saarland with one V150-5.6MW turbine as well as the Windpark Lauda Heckfeld II in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Windpark Laudert III in Rhineland-Palatinate that both consist of one V162-5.6MW turbine.
Finally, the Windpark Jülich Güsten in North Rhine-Westphalia includes four V162-5.6 MW turbines.
In addition, Vestas has received an order for two wind projects totalling 370MW to repower the Pleasant Valley and Border Winds projects owned by Xcel Energy in the USA.
The order for the 213MW Pleasant Valley project in Minnesota consists of 97 V110-2.0 MW wind turbines delivered in 2.2MW operating mode.
The 156MW Border Winds project, located in North Dakota, consists of 71 V110-2.0 MW wind turbines delivered in 2.2MW operating, which will update the current V100-2.0 MW technology at both sites.
Both projects include supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines, and Vestas will continue to service the turbines and provide an energy-based availability guarantee, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.
Turbine delivery for both projects will begin in the second quarter of 2025 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Furthermore, Vestas and Vibrant Energy have signed a deal for two wind projects in India.
As part of the order, Vestas will supply a total of 36 V155-3.6MW turbines.
This is Vestas’ second order from Vibrant in India in less than a year, following a 54MW order for a project in Maharashtra signed in 2022.
With this, Vestas continues to solidify its position as a reliable and trusted partner in sustainable energy solutions in India, it said.
