Report this content
Vestas has received an order for a total of 76 units of the V90-3.0 MW turbine  
for two projects in Romania. The contract comprises supply, installation, a     
VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution, as well as a five-year service agreement.
The first turbines are expected to be installed by the end of 2009.             

The order has been placed by EDP Renováveis that is currently the third largest 
wind energy operator in Europe and the fourth largest operator in the world.    

At the customer's request, details about the name of the project cannot be      
disclosed.                                                                      

“We are very pleased with this order from EDP Renováveis, which is the result of
a well-established relationship between the two companies. In the currently     
challenging economic and financial scenario, it is very important to receive    
this sign of confidence in our products and our technology from a leading       
company like EDP Renováveis,” says Juan Araluce, President of Vestas            
Mediterranean.                                                                  

“Our global key account team in Vestas Mediterranean has been working very      
closely with other units in the Vestas organisation, including Vestas Central   
Europe and Vestas Americas to deliver the best solution to EDP Renováveis. We   
are very glad to collaborate with EDP Renováveis worldwide and to support       
directly their activities in the development of the wind energy industry across 
countries,” emphasises Juan Araluce.                                            

“By the end of 2008, Romania had a total installed wind capacity of 76 MW1 World
Market Update 2008, BTM Consult. This is an important project for the Romanian  
market, and together with EDP Renováveis we look forward to contributing to     
expanding the wind capacity in this country,” says Hans Jørn Rieks, President of
Vestas Central Europe.                                                          

The total annual production of the two wind power plants will save the          
environment from more than 195,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
