The manufacturer will supply projects in Mexico, Italy and Argentina, which had all won contracts through the countries’ auction systems.
Mexico
The company will supply 27 of its V136-3.45 turbines for a 93MW wind farm in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas.
It also secured a short-term service contract for the project.
The turbines are expected to be delivered in Q3 2018 and commissioning of the site is planned for 2019.
Including the contract for the site in Tamaulipas, Vestas has secured nearly 600MW of orders resulting from Mexico’s auction, which was held last year, and has more than 700MW installed or under construction in the state.
Italy
Vestas has also signed orders for 78MW of projects in Italy.
It will supply three of its V112-3.45MW turbines and eight of its V117-3.45 model for local renewables developer Tozzi Sud’s 38MW Monteverde project in the Avellino province in southern Italy.
Vestas also received a 40MW order for the Lavello site in southern Italy.
Delivery of the turbines for the Monteverde project is expected for Q1 2018, with commissioning scheduled for the following quarter. The turbines for Lavello are expected to be delivered and commissioned in Q2 2018.
