Vestas has won a 97MW turbine order from Naturgy subsidiary Global Power Generation for the Hawkesdale wind farm in Australian state of Victoria.
The deal covers supply and installation of 23 V136-4.2MW machines, as well as a 15-year active output management 5000 service agreement.
Delivery is expected in the third quarter of 2021, with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
Hawkesdale is set to power approximately 35,000 homes and create around 145 jobs during its construction.
The new contract follows Vestas’ recent announcement of the second stage of the Berrybank and the Ryan Corner wind farms, two new Victorian wind parks to be developed with Global Power Generation.
Together, the three projects will export a total of 425MW of clean energy to the Australian grid.
Vestas Asia Pacific president Clive Turton said: “We are proud that customers from all around the world turn to Vestas for our leading technology, market experience, broad service solutions and ultimately, the best return on investment for their wind project.
“Global Power Generation is a valued customer to Vestas globally and we look forward to building on our existing partnership through the delivery of Hawkesdale Wind Farm.”
Global Power Generation chief business development officer Pedro Serrano said: “Global Power Generation is very pleased to continue its partnership with Vestas as OEM and long-term maintenance service provider for Hawkesdale wind farm.”
