EDF Renewable Energy has signed a master supply agreement (MSA) with Vestas to supply Vestas V100-2.0 MW turbines for multiple U.S. projects beginning construction in 2013.
The projects have capacity up to 750 MW.
With the agreement in place, EDF Renewable Energy is well positioned to progress key U.S wind projects that will support near-term domestic manufacturing and construction jobs, and provide competitively priced, clean energy for the long-term energy security, the company said.
Both EDF Renewable Energy and Vestas have been partners in Europe. Recently they also announced collaboration in North America through Blackspring Ridge project in Alberta.
EDF Renewable Energy specializes in wind and solar photovoltaic with presence in other segments of the renewable energy market: biogas, biomass, hydro, marine energy and storage solutions. The company’s U.S. portfolio spans 16 states with 4,000 MW of developed projects and an installed capacity of 1,962 MW.
In another related development, EDF Renewable Energy announced it has executed a Turbine Supply Agreement (TSA) with General Electric (GE) for up to 200 megawatts of wind turbine generators. The agreement covers the supply of GE 1.85 MW models for U.S. wind projects beginning construction in 2013.
