Vestas receives order for 32 wind turbines for Spain
Vestas has received an order for a total of 32 units of the V90-1.8 MW wind
turbine for the Mudèfer I and II projects in Spain. The contract includes
supply, installation, commissioning, a VestasOnlineTM Business SCADA solution as
well as a five-year service agreement.
The Mudèfer projects will be located in the province of Tarragona in the region
of Catalonia. The wind power plant, with a total capacity of 57.6 MW, will be
the third wind power plant to be established by Vestas in Catalonia. As of 1
January 2008, the region had a total installed capacity of 347 MW and a target
of 1,000 MW installed by 2010.
Delivery of the wind turbines is scheduled to start in 2009.
The order has been placed by Catalana d'Energíes Renovables, S.L. (CATER),
established with capital from Emte S.A., Fersa Energias Renovables S.A. and
Vallser S.L., and in February 2008, Fersa acquired 100 per cent of CATER.
“We are pleased that CATER has chosen Vestas turbines for their first wind power
plant, and we look forward to proving to them that they can rely on Vestas'
technology,” says Juan Araluce, President of Vestas Mediterranean A/S, and
concludes: “Furthermore, it is very nice to see Catalonia's growing interest in
wind energy.”
The wind power plant will annually save the environment from approx 96,000 tons
of CO2 and will be able to meet the electricity needs of more than 35,800
Spanish households.
The above order does not affect Vestas' expectations for 2008 cf. Company
announcement No. 13/2008 of 27 February 2008.
Any questions in relation to the order may be addressed to Juan Araluce,
