Vestas receives order for 74 MW for the Spanish market
Vestas has received an order for a total of 37 units of the V90-2.0 MW turbine
for Les Rotes y Monclues project in Spain. The contract comprises supply,
installation, a VestasOnlineTM Business SCADA solution as well as a five-year
service agreement.
The order has been placed by Eolia Renovables, one of the major companies in the
Spanish renewable energy sector.
The project will be located in the province of Lerida in the Catalan Pyrenees.
As of 1 January 2008, the Catalonian region has a total installed capacity of
347 MW, and a target of 1,000 MW installed by 2010.
“We are very satisfied that Eolia Renovables has chosen Vestas to take advantage
of the wind potential of Catalonia,” says Juan Araluce, President of Vestas
Mediterranean A/S, and continues: “This new contract is a further step towards
developing Vestas' position in this region, which has a growing interest in wind
energy.”
Delivery of the wind turbines for Les Rotes y Monclues will begin in 2009. With
an estimated annual production of approx 144 GWh, the wind power plant will
satisfy the electricity needs of approx 66,000 Spanish households and will
correspond to an annual emission saving of almost 60,000 tons of CO2.
The above order does not affect the Vestas Group's expectations for 2008, cf.
Company announcement No. 25/2008 of 8 May 2008.
