Vestas' V112-3.0 MW reaches important milestone - first GW of orders already secured

With a series of orders from customers around the world, the V112-3.0 MW turbine has already won more than 1 GW of firm and unconditional orders since it was released for sale about one year ago.

Over the last year, more than 30 customers have chosen the V112-3.0 MW turbine. The size of the orders ranges from one turbine to the largest V112 order so far i.e. the 420 MW Macarthur project in Australia.

“We are very pleased to reach this important milestone. After only one year following the launch of the V112-3.0 MW turbine, the turbine leads customer demand among new turbines released since 2010 in its class and target markets,” says Ditlev Engel, President and CEO of Vestas Wind Systems A/S. “Several MWs of additional V112 orders are in the pipeline, which demonstrates strong customer commitment to Vestas and to the V112-3.0 MW turbine.”

The V112-3.0 MW provides exceptional yield for customers, thanks to its world-class testing, its design for outstanding serviceability and its compliance with even the strictest grid codes in the world. Having won industry prizes for Vestas like the Zayed Future Energy Prize as well as the Asian Future Power Award, this turbine confirms Vestas’ relentless efforts to ensure our customers get the lowest Cost of Energy and highest possible Business Case Certainty.
