Vestas has sold the 183MW Delta wind project, in Mississippi, US, to AES Corporation.
The project, developed by Vestas’ North American development arm Steelhead Americas, is the state’s first wind project.
The turbines in the project are expected to have one of the highest tip heights in North America, therefore accessing stronger wind speeds at higher altitudes, Vestas said.
Steelhead Americas developed the project from the ground up and led all development efforts including permitting, land acquisition, and construction design to deliver the customer a project that is ready for construction and installation.
“We are excited to develop the first wind project in Mississippi and look forward to bringing more wind energy to the region,” said Chris Rogers, vice president of development for Vestas North America.
He added: “As a full-suite renewables developer, we are proud to bring projects from concept to construction.
“By adding development to our industry-leading technology and operations portfolio, we’ve deployed our industry expertise across a wider range of the renewable value chain.”
