Vestas has secured a 100MW contract to supply turbines at Sempra’s 100MW Apple Blossom wind farm in Michigan.
The Danish manufacturer will deliver 29 of its V126-3.45MW machines in the third quarter of 2017 for commissioning later that same year.
Nacelles, blades and towers will be produced at Vestas factores in Colorado. The order includes a multi-year service deal.
“The turbines at Apple Blossom are another example of the increasing demand for our 3MW platform in the US,” said Chris Brown, president of Vestas in the US and Canada.
“The platform repeatedly proves its versatility across a variety of North American wind regimes and across the Midwestern wind belt, as our customers are benefitting from the five different rotor sizes, taller towers and different power modes,” he added.
Apple Blossom was originally developed by Geronimo before being acquired by Sempra in July this year.
