Vestas Received a 151 MW Order for the Folha Larga Wind Farm in Brazil

Vestas has previously announced it will produce its leading onshore wind turbine, the V150-4.2 MW, in Brazil. Highlighting the V150-4.2 MW turbine’s strong fit with Brazil’s wind conditions, Vestas has now received a 151 MW firm and unconditional order for the Folha Larga wind park in the State of Bahia, taking total order intake for the wind turbine in Brazil to 252 MW.

The order includes 36 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines as well as a service agreement for the operation and maintenance of the wind farm over the next 20 years.

"As wind power becomes more important and Casa dos Ventos increases its investments in the sector, we are honored to count on Vestas’ support”, says Lucas Araripe, director of Casa dos Ventos. “We intend to begin construction in 2019 and have the wind park fully operational by 2020, ahead of its regulatory schedule", he added.

Turbine delivery is planned for the first quarter of 2020, whilst commissioning is expected by the end of the second quarter of the same year.
