Vestas has received a turbine order from PacifiCorp to repower the Goodnoe Hills wind farm in Washington state in the US.
The deal covers supply and commissioning of 47 V110 2.2MW machines, as well as a long-term service agreement.
The Vestas hardware will replace the existing Senvion MM92 2MW machines, in operation since 2008, and increase the project’s capacity to 103MW from 94MW previously.
Delivery is expected to start in the first quarter of next year.
Pacific Power president and chief executive Stefan Bird said: “These repowering upgrades will cost-effectively boost the output of existing turbines and extend the life of our wind projects, while expanding the amount of renewable energy serving our customers.
“We appreciate our continued partnership with Vestas as we remain focused on meeting our customers’ sustainable energy goals.”
Pacific Power is the division of PacifiCorp that serves customers in Oregon, Washington and California.
Vestas president of sales and service in the US and Canada Chris Brown said: “As wind technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, Vestas is able to use our technology expertise, operational insights, and unparalleled global supply chain to deliver repowering benefits for customers across a variety of turbine types.
“Updating existing projects with Vestas technology unlocks even more value and performance for our customers from their existing assets and extends the lifetime benefits of these projects”.
