Vestas to deliver turbines for Swedish wind project

Vestas Wind Systems was won turbine delivery orders for a 122MW wind project in Sweden from Allianz Capital Partners.

To be built in Ljusdal and Bollnäs municipalities, the project will feature 37 of Vestas’ V117-3.3 MW turbine models.

Under the terms of the contract, the Danish firm deliver, install and commission the equipment at the facility.

Vestas is expected to make the turbine deliveries within the first quarter of 2016, prior to their scheduled commissioning by the second quarter.

Kraftö Vind, the developer for the Sörby project, will also manage its construction.
Vestas will also provide VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution for the renewable power generating facility and has signed a 15-year full-scope service agreement (AOM 5000) for it.

Allianz Capital Partners head of renewable energy David Jones said: "We look forward to working with both Kraftö and Vestas to ensure the smooth construction and optimal long-term operation of the project."

Kraftö Vind CEO Anders Barne said:"The open mindset approach that has characterised our cooperation with the Vestas team has enabled us to continuously improve the business case certainty all the way to financial close. Furthermore, the selection of the V117-3.3MW turbine ensures that we enhance the already solid wind resources at the site."

Vestas Northern Europe president says Klaus Steen Mortensen said: "Vestas’ wide range of wind turbine types is well-suited for all market conditions and thus offers our customers a strong business case for their wind power investments."
