Vestas has secured a turbine order totalling 459MW from PacifiCorp for two wind farms in the US state of Wyoming.
The deals for the TB Flats 1 and 2 projects is for V136 machines with individual capacity of 4.3MW.
Including previously purchased V110-2.0MW turbines, the wind farms will have a combined capacity of 503MW, Vestas said.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a 12-year AOM 4000 service agreement.
