Order for 100 MW in China
Vestas has received an order for the delivery of 116 V52-850 kW wind turbines
for China Guangdong Nuclear Wind Power Co. Ltd., bringing the total capacity of
V52 wind turbines sold to the company to 500 MW.
The agreement includes supply of the turbines, a VestasOnlineTM Business SCADA
solution and a two-year maintenance and service agreement.
China Guangdong Nuclear Wind Power Co. Ltd. is one of the key wind power
developers in China and a key partner of Vestas China.
”It is once again a pleasure to do business with China Guangdong Nuclear Wind
Power,” said Vestas China Managing Director Lars Andersen. “This latest sale -
the eighth order from China Guangdong Nuclear Wind Power in the last 12 months -
means that Vestas is now one of the largest single suppliers of wind turbines to
the company.”
Delivery of the turbines is planned for the third quarter of 2009.
“With the latest sale, Vestas will have supplied 500 MW of wind energy capacity
to China Guangdong Nuclear Wind Power, demonstrating the trust and excellent
working relationship between our two companies,” added Lars Andersen “This sale
is proof of both the reliability of our product and the overall business case
certainty of our wind energy solutions. Vestas is strongly committed to the
Chinese market and to working with our Chinese partners to support the overall
development of China's wind energy sector.”
Vestas was the first wind turbine company to enter the Chinese market when it
installed the first turbines in Shandong and Hainan provinces in 1986. As per 30
June 2008, Vestas has installed more that 1,000 wind turbines in thirteen
provinces in China and is among the biggest accumulated supplier of wind
turbines in the country. With the opening of a new factory complex in Inner
Mongolia and a new foundry in Jiangsu in 2009, Vestas will be operating five
factory complexes in three different provinces. In Tianjin, Vestas runs the
largest wind power-manufacturing complex in China producing generators, blades,
nacelles, hubs and control systems. Vestas currently employs more than 1,800
people in China engaged throughout the value chain and providing wind energy
solutions to Vestas' customers and partners in China.
The above order does not affect the Vestas Group's expectations for 2008 and
2009, cf. Company announcement No. 46/2008 of 6 November 2008.
