The Vestas Group has received an order for 29 units of the V80-2.0 MW wind turbine for the White Hill Wind Farm, which is located close to Mossburn in the South Island of New Zealand.
The order for the White Hill Wind Farm project has been placed by Meridian Energy, which is New Zealand’s largest state-owned electricity generator. The order includes supply, installation and commissioning, remote control system as well as a five-year service and maintenance agreement. Shipment of the turbines will begin in late 2006, and commissioning of the wind power plant will take place during the first half of 2007.
”We are delighted to enter into the White Hill contract with Meridian. The signing of this contract marks a major new milestone in the ongoing strong relationship with Meridian,” says Thorbjørn N Rasmussen, President of Vestas Asia Pacific A/S.
Vestas has previously supplied a total of 55 units of V72-1,650 kW turbines for Meridian’s Te Apiti project in New Zealand.
