EDF Renewable Energy placed order for 75 V110-2.0MW turbines for the 150MW Slate Creek Wind Project in Kansas, and for 150 V100-2.0MW turbines for the 300MW Roosevelt Wind Project in New Mexico.
Both projects include three-year Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service agreements. AOM 5000 is an energy-based availability guarantee that ensures the turbines are operational when the wind is blowing.
Delivery of the 150MW Slate Creek project is expected to take place in the third quarter of 2015 with commissioning expected in the fourth quarter of the same year. Delivery of the 300MW Roosevelt project is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2015 with commissioning expected in the fourth quarter of the same year. Vestas’ factories in Colorado are expected to be involved in the manufacturing of the nacelles, blades and towers for both projects. These orders are call-offs on the master supply agreement (MSA) announced in September 2013 for multiple U.S. projects, the potential of which totals 1,174MW. With today’s orders, Vestas has secured 944MW under this MSA.
