Vestas inks 62-MW wind turbine order in China

Denmark's Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS) announced on Friday it has received an order to deliver 62 MW of turbines for a project in China.

Under the contract, the manufacturer will supply its V120-2.2 MW turbines to an unnamed project. Apart from delivering the equipment, Vestas will also service the machines under a five-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) agreement.

The Danish firm expects to start delivering the turbines in the second quarter of 2020 and commission them in this year's last quarter.

With this deal, Vestas' total order intake in China has surpassed the 600-MW mark within a three-month period, the manufacturer pointed out.

Earlier last week, Vestas unveiled another order in China, for 50 MW of wind turbines of the same model but to be delivered in a 2.4-MW power optimised mode. This deal was ordered by Chinese power transformers maker TBEA Co Ltd (SHA:600089) and has deliveries expected for the second quarter of the year.
