Vestas Receives 350 MW Order in the USA
18 December 2013
Vestas will supply 175 V100-2.0 MW turbines for the 150 MW Origin wind power plant in Oklahoma, USA.
Vestas and Enel Green Power have also signed an agreement for up to an additional 636 MW worth of 2 MW turbines of which 200 MW is firm. Deliveries for Origin are expected to occur in mid-2014 with commissioning by end of 2014. .
Vestas’ factories in Colorado will be involved in manufacturing blades, nacelles and towers for the 350 MW order.
The Origin project will include a three-year Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service agreement. AOM 5000 is an energy-based availability guarantee that ensures the turbines are operational when the wind is blowing. This service option includes the Vestas online surveillance system that remotely controls and monitors the turbines and predicts potential wear-and-tear issues. This allows Vestas to plan maintenance so the turbines operate with the minimum loss of production.
