Vestas has announced two global orders for its wind turbine technology in Turkey and Argentina.

Turkey

Vestas has received a 37 MW order for a wind project in Turkey. The contract includes the supply and installation of six V162-6.2 MW wind turbines, as well as a 10-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.

“With this order, we have secured more than 130 MW of EnVentus projects signed in Turkey, demonstrating that, with our V162-6.2 MW, we continue to increase the annual energy production and optimise the business case of our customers’ projects. We are glad to see how the EnVentus platform enters the Turkish market and expands its footprint in the world”, says General Manager of Vestas Turkey, Levent Ishak. 

Turbine delivery is planned for the last quarter of 2023, whilst commissioning is expected for the second quarter of 2024.

The project and customer names are undisclosed.

Vestas installed Turkey’s first wind turbine in 1984 and has since delivered over 2 GW of wind capacity to the country.

Argentina

Vestas has received an order for a project in Argentina that includes supply of 16 V150-4.5 MW turbines as well as a 30-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.

Deliveries and commissioning are planned for 2024. Customer and project names are undisclosed at the customer’s request.

Vestas pioneered Argentina’s wind energy market by installing the country’s first commercial wind turbine in Comodoro Rivadavia in 1994.
