Vestas has received a 39 MW order from Utilitas, for the Saarde wind project located in Saarde, a municipality in Parnu County, in Estonia.
Vestas said it will manage supply, installation, and commissioning of nine units of V150-4.2 MW turbines in 4.3 MW operating mode. Vestas will service the turbines under a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.
Juan Furones, Vice President for Vestas Sales North & West, said: “Our nine turbines will be the most modern and effective turbines in Estonia to date. In addition, Utilitas has entrusted us with a 30-year full-scope service agreement that will continue to expand our service footprint in the region for the long-term.”
“No new wind turbines have been installed in Estonia for eight years now. The technology of wind turbines has developed rapidly during this time and the Vestas wind turbines we acquire are the most modern and efficient. Compared to ten years ago, fewer wind turbines can now produce substantially more energy,” said Priit Koit, Utilitas Group CEO.
Vestas will start deliveries and installation at the Saarde wind project in the second quarter of 2023, while commissioning will be in the second half of 2023.
