Vestas has revealed that Italy-based engineering and construction company SIMIC has placed a 74 MW order for the Villacidro and Musei wind parks, to be located in Sardinia, Italy.
The contract includes the supply and installation of 12 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, Vestas said.
“With Villacidro and Musei wind parks, SIMIC achieves an important milestone of more than 100 MW of solar and wind installed capacity,” says Giuseppe Ginola, Founder and Managing Director of SIMIC.
Back in 2021, SIMIC placed the first order for EnVentus wind turbines in Italy.
Francesco Amati is the Vestas General Manger Italy and Turkey.
Turbine delivery is planned for the first half of 2024, whilst commissioning is expected for the second half of 2024.
With this project, Vestas consolidates its leadership in the Italian market, where it has won over 2 GW of contracts derived from auctions and has installed over 5 GW since 1991.
