Vestas is to deliver turbines totalling 99MW for a wind farm in Russia being developed by a joint venture of Finnish energy company Fortum and local partner Rusnano.
The deal covers supply, installation and commissioning of 26 V126 turbines with an individual output of 3.8MW.
Delivery and installation is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.
The order is Vestas’ third order from its framework agreement with Rusnano and Fortum to supply wind energy solutions for projects in Russia, following earlier 50MW and 198MW contracts.
Vestas Northern & Central Europe president Nils de Baar said: “This order once again underlines our market leadership in the Russian wind market and shows how we, together with our local partners, continue to strengthen the renewable energy sector in the world’s fourth largest electricity market.”
