Vestas has received a 150MW order out of a master supply agreement (MSA) with First Wind for multiple wind-energy projects in the United States. Vestas could ultimately supply First Wind with up to 568MW worth of additional turbines for multiple projects.
As part of the MSA, Vestas will supply 75 V110-2.0MW turbines to the 150MW Route 66 wind-energy project near Amarillo, Texas. Vestas’ factories in Colorado will be involved in manufacturing blades, nacelles and towers for the Route 66 project. The First Wind projects in the MSA will feature 10-year service agreements using Active Output Management (AOM) 5000. Deliveries are expected to occur for Route 66 in early 2015 with commissioning in mid-2015. Vestas has also received a 110MW order for 55 V100-2.0MW wind turbines for a new project in the USA. The turbines are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2014 while commissioning is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015. The customer as well as the new project’s name and specific location are not available for disclosure at this time. The contract features a five-year Vestas Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 maintenance program.
