Vestas has received an order for 41 units of the V90-2.0MW wind turbine for the Orites project in Cyprus. The order comprises supply and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a five-year service and maintenance agreement.
The order has been placed by a Cypriot-based development company,
founded by local entrepreneur Akis Ellinas, DK Windsupply Limited, in
conjunction with Platina Partners, a London-based private equity group,
active in the development, construction and operation of renewable
energy projects across Europe. The Orites project will be located in a
mountainous area in the southwestern part of the island, close to the
city of Paphos. The Vestas wind turbines are the first wind turbines to
be installed in Cyprus. Delivery of the turbines is scheduled to start
during the fourth quarter of 2009, and commissioning should be
completed in the summer of 2010.
