Vestas has received an order in the USA from Sempra U.S. Gas & Power (Sempra) for 29 V126-3.45 MW turbines. The turbines will be deployed at the 100 MW Apple Blossom wind project in Michigan.
The order comprises supply and commissioning of the wind turbines as well as a multi-year Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service agreement. Originally developed by Geronimo, the Apple Blossom wind project was acquired by Sempra in July of this year, while delivery of the turbines is planned for the third quarter of 2017 and commissioning expected in the fourth quarter of that year. Nacelles, blades, and towers will be produced at Vestas' Colorado factories.
