Senvion has agreed a conditional deal for turbines totalling 340MW with Mainstream Renewable Power for two wind farms in Chile.
The order covers 44 4.2M118 machines for the Cerro Tigre project and 37 4.2M148 units for the Tchamma facility, as well as servicing for 20 years with an extension option.
Installation is planned to start in 2020.
Senvion executive director David Hardy said: “We are very glad to have signed the contracts for the projects in Chile. It is a great success and the result of our global strategic approach.
“Due to the new modular products and the heightened efficiency of our supply chain, we are most competitive in important growth markets as Chile and Argentina.”
Mainstream Renewable Power general manager in Chile Manuel Tagle said: “The signing is a solid step towards reaching financial close early in 2019 and we are firmly on track to deliver them into commercial operation in 2021.
“We are delighted to announce the execution of contracts with Senvion for the first projects in our fully-contracted 1.3GW wind and solar platform which was awarded to us in the Chilean energy auction in 2016.
“We are happy to be working with Senvion again following a positive experience with our Sarco and Aurora wind farms and this wind turbine supply contract is particularly significant given it is one of the largest ever signed in Chile.”
