Vestas receives 48 MW order in China
Vestas has secured an order for 24 V100-2.0 MW turbines in China, its third announced order in the country this year.
The order has been placed by long-time Vestas customer CGN (Anxi) Wind Power Co. Ltd. CGN (Anxi) Wind Power currently has Vestas wind turbines totalling 960 MW installed in China. The CGN Fujian Anxi Longmen Wind Farm project is located in the Fujian province. Deliveries for the project will start in the third quarter of 2015. The contract also includes a two-year Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 service agreement.
"Vestas installed its first wind turbine in China in 1986 and has since introduced a full suite of turbine and service products for China's low- and medium-wind sites, reinvigorating the group's long-standing commitment to the world's largest wind energy market," says Chris Beaufait, President of Vestas Asia Pacific & China. "The CGN Fujian Anxi Longmen Wind Farm Project will help increase the proportion of clean energy in the province and we are very pleased that CGN (Anxi) Wind Power Co. Ltd has chosen to work with us on yet another project," Beaufait says.
