Renewable energy producer H2air has placed an 80MW turbine order with Vestas for three projects in France.
The Ardennes 1 wind park, to be located in Grand-Est, will feature 12 units from the 4MW platform with V150 rotors.
The Somme 1 and Aisne 1 wind parks, to be located in Hauts de France, will feature eleven wind turbines from the 4MW platform with V126 rotors.
The supply and installation order includes a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
Turbine delivery at Ardennes 1 is planned by the fourth quarter of 2022 and commissioning is scheduled for the first quarter of 2023.
Delivery and commissioning at Somme 1 and Aisne 1 are planned by 2022.
Roy Mahfouz, CEO of H2air, said: “We are proud of this success. Despite the challenges linked to the current conjuncture, it is due to a talented and pugnacious team and good partnerships that we have been able to launch the construction of these 80 MW. It is a part of a large portfolio which sustains the healthy and organic growth for H2air.”
Vestas France Country Manager Hugues Faivre added: “We are very glad to partner once again with H2air. Our 4 MW platform is designed to provide business certainty to our customers across a broad range of wind and site conditions. This versatility enables our customers to mix different turbine types, obtaining exceptional energy capture and optimising the energy output of their wind parks.”
