Vestas has secured multiple turbine orders in China totalling 301MW as the first quarter of the year draws to a close.
The Danish wind turbine maker announced a 202MW order for an undisclosed project that includes supply of 56 V136-3.45MW turbines delivered in 3.6MW power optimised mode, as well as a two-year active output management service agreement.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2020, with commissioning planned for the same quarter.
Vestas also secured a 99MW order for two projects in Jiangsu Province.
Both projects will feature a mixed site configuration consisting of V155-3.3MW and V110-2.2MW turbines.
The order, also to an undisclosed customer, includes supply of 16 V155-3.3MW and 21 V110-2.2MW turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 4000 service agreement.
This is the second order of V155-3.3MW turbines – Vestas’ latest 4 MW platform variant designed for low wind condition – since its introduction in China in June 2019.
The order also features a 20-year service agreement, a first for Vestas in China.
Vestas China president Thomas Keller, said: “The order is significant in two ways, as it demonstrates the V155-3.3MW turbine’s suitability for China’s low wind market and marks our Chinese customer’s increasing trust in Vestas’ long-term service capabilities and commitment.”
Keller added: “I believe with the shift of attention to the entire lifecycle of wind farms, more of our Chinese customers will partner with us on long-term service contracts.”
Deliveries are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020, while commissioning is planned for the third quarter in the same year.
The new orders take Vestas’ announced order intake in China to 750 MW in the first quarter of 2020.
