Vestas has received an order for turbines totalling 228MW from PacifiCorp for the Ekola Flats wind farm in Wyoming.
The deal is for V136 machines with individual capacity of 4.3MW and includes a 12-year active output management 4000 service agreement.
Delivery is expected to start in the second quarter of 2020, with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of that year.
The 250MW Ekola Flats is part of PacifiCorp’s Energy Vision 2020 initiative, a $3.1bn investment to expand wind power via repowering existing projects, adding 1150MW of new wind resources by the end of 2020 and building a 225km transmission line in Wyoming to connect wind generation.
Vestas president of sales and service division in the US and Canada Chris Brown said: “We’re pleased PacifiCorp has again selected our 4MW platform for the Ekola Flats projects.
“The V136-4.2MW, operating in 4.3MW power optimised mode is well suited to capture the maximum available wind resource at Ekola Flats, and ensure low-cost, reliable wind energy benefits PacifiCorp’s customers and communities.”
