Vestas, the global wind energy leader, has received an order of 49 MW from Master Investment Company Ltd, which is a new customer for Vestas and a new entrant to the Chinese wind energy industry in the wind-abundant province Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR). With this customer, Vestas has once again initiated a new partnership with a customer that is dedicated to delivering clean, sustainable energy based on industry-leading wind technology.
The order consists of 25 units of the V90 turbine, of which Vestas has sold more than 2,500 worldwide. The contract includes towers, delivery, transportation, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution and a two-year service and maintenance agreement. This solution includes an extensive range of monitoring and control functions allowing the wind park to be controlled in the same way as a conventional power plant. In this way, customers have full control of power production as well as full overview of the operational status of each individual wind turbine, which is very important in relation to servicing of the turbines and sophisticated management of large scale wind power plants.
“Building on the efforts we have put into developing a strong base in China over the past few years, we are very pleased to see that companies entering the wind energy business are aware of the quality level of the products and services Vestas can offer,” says Jens Tommerup, President of Vestas China. “Master Investment Company, which is a large influential entity in Ningxia, has chosen Vestas because of our strong technical capabilities in wind turbine siting and due to the quality of our products. With our build-up in China, we now have a strong Wind & Site team in China which is an important capability for us and a valuable service we can provide our customers. We are very pleased that Master Investment Company recognises this value we provide.”
The site of the project is in Yanchi, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and the wind turbines are expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2010.
As of 31 December 2009, Vestas had an accumulated installed capacity of more than 2,000 MW in China, which makes Vestas one of the largest players in the Chinese wind energy market.
