Vestas will deliver ten V126-3.3MW turbines to the Hohenruppersdorf II project. Delivery is expected by the end of 2015 with commissioning due in the second quarter of 2016.

The contract also includes a 20-year servicing deal. According to Windpower Intelligence, the data division of Windpower Monthly, Vestas has 370MW of turbines installed in Austria.

Around 390MW of new capacity is due to be installed in the land-locked nation in 2015, mostly in Lower Austria.

The total slightly less than the 411MW commissioned in 2014, but a clear improvement on the 296MW of 2012 and 308MW of 2013. Austria's total wind fleet now stands at 2,095MW.
