Vestas receives 200 MW order in Minnesota
Odell Wind Farm LLC orders 100 V110-2.0 MW turbines for the Odell project
With reference to Vestas Wind Systems A/S’ company announcement No. 43/2014 of 14 November
2014, Vestas has received a firm and unconditional order in the United States for 100 V110-2.0 MW
turbines corresponding to 200 MW. The order was placed by Odell Wind Farm LLC, a joint venture
between Algonquin Power Co. and a third party.
The order comprises supply and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 10-year Active
Output Management (AOM 5000) service agreement. AOM 5000 includes an energy-based availability
guarantee ensuring that turbines are operational when the wind is blowing.
Today’s announcement adds to the relationship between Vestas and Algonquin. Previously, Vestas
supplied V82-1.65 MW turbines to the St Leon project in Manitoba and the Red Lily project in
Saskatchewan.
“We are excited to build yet another successful project with Algonquin, this time using our V110-2.0
MW turbine,” says Chris Brown, President of Vestas’ sales and service division in the United States
and Canada. “With today’s order, we have announced almost 1,500 MW of orders in the US and
Canada for the V110 machine, which has rapidly become our flagship in the North American market,
and the industry standard for providing reliable energy at a competitive cost over its full operating life.”
In 2014 to date, Vestas has received orders representing approximately 2.0 GW in the USA. Since
the beginning of 2013, Vestas has also entered into master supply agreements with various customers
in that market totalling approximately 3.3 GW, under which approximately 2.3 GW of capacity has
been utilized.
