Vestas has secured a 101MW turbine order for the second phase of the B&T wind farm in Vietnam.
The contract is with AMI AC Renewables Corporation, a joint venture between AC Energy and AMI Renewables, and covers 24 V150-4.2MW machines.
Vestas will supply, transport, install and commission the turbines, which will have hub heights of 145 metres.
The order also includes a 20-year active output management 5000 service agreement, which in combination with a yield-based availability guarantee will provide the customer with long-term business case certainty.
Construction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021, ahead of the current wind feed-in tariff deadline in Vietnam.
Vestas said the latest deal closely follows a recent 84MW order for the first phase of the project.
The combined B&T projects are located in a coastal area in Quang Binh province.
Vestas Asia Pacific president Clive Turton said: “I would like to thank AMI AC Renewables for their continued trust and confidence by awarding us with both phases of this project.
“Vestas is excited to be part of the Quang Binh Province’s growing ambition to develop its wind power potential.”
AMI Renewables chairman Nguyen Nam Thang said: “The Quang Binh Wind Farm is an important milestone in AMI AC Renewables’ strategic journey.
“Together with our fruitful partnership with AC Energy and Vestas’ proven track record in the Asia Pacific region, we are confident that this project will contribute significantly to Vietnam’s energy development, which is essential to the nations’ economic growth and overall progress in improving quality of life.”
