The 30 MW order for Vestas V126-3.45 MW turbines was placed for the Kiata wind farm, a project in southeastern Australia developed by Windlab Limited.
Located west of Horsham, Victoria, near the town of Nhill, the Kiata wind farm is an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project for Vestas. The order also includes a five-year Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 service contract. Windlab secured financing from John Laing Group and National Australia Bank. John Laing will own approximately 72 percent of the wind farm with the balance owned by Windlab and project neighbours. Delivery and commissioning of the turbines are expected in the second half of 2017.
