Vestas has received an order for an offshore wind power plant with a total capacity of 300MW.
The wind power plant, Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, consists of 100 units
of the V90-3.0MW wind turbine and will be located 11.3 km offshore from
Foreness Point in the Thames Estuary on the easternmost part of the
Kent coastline, United Kingdom. The order has been placed by Vattenfall
Wind Power and comprises design, supply, construction, testing and
commissioning of the 100 wind turbines as well as a five-year operation
and maintenance contract. Vattenfall is responsible for foundations,
offshore and onshore cables with substations and offshore installation
vessels. Delivery of the turbines is expected to take place during 2009
and 2010, and installation of the wind power plant will take place in
2010.
