Vestas has secured a 162MW turbine order for the La Elbita wind farm in the province of Buenos Aires, in Argentina.
The project, being developed by Genneia, will feature 36 V150-4.5MW units which Vestas will supply and install.
Turbine delivery is planned for the third quarter of 2023, while commissioning is expected for the second quarter of 2024.
Upon completion, Vestas will also service the turbines for 25 years.
“We are delighted to work again together with Genneia to start this project and contribute to accelerating the decarbonisation of the country’s energy matrix,” said Vestas Sales Vice President of LatAm Southern Cone, Andrés Gismondi
“In the same way, we are proud to know that foreign capital is willing to invest in the development of wind farms in Argentina and that they trust the experience of Vestas and Genneia to promote the local energy transition.”
Corporate Affairs and ESG Director at Genneia Gustavo Castagnino added: “We are also very proud to work with Vestas in this challenging Project, La Elbita, because both companies offer sustainable and efficient energy solutions aligned with our commitment to a decarbonised economy and to the climate change fight.”
