Vestas receives an order for 47 wind turbines for Spain
Vestas has received an order from the Spanish developer Parques
Eólicos San Lorenzo S.L.U. (I.E. VAPAT S.L.U.) for 47 units of the V90-2.0 MW wind turbine. The order comprises turnkey delivery of two wind power plants, Vestas Online Business Scada system and a fiveyear service and maintenance agreement.
Delivery of the wind power plants will start in the spring of 2007 and will be completed in the spring of 2008. The two wind power plants, San Lorenzo A and San Lorenzo B, are located in Valladolid in the autonomous region Castilla y León, near the town Torrelobatón. The region has a very strong wind potential, and growth expectations for the coming years are very positive. With 1,900 MW already in operation in Castilla y León and with a target for 6,000 MW wind energy installed, the region is considered among the most promising regions in Spain.
In July this year, Vestas inaugurated a nacelle assembly factory in Villadangos del Páramo with a production capacity of 300 nacelles per year and with a work force of 140 employees. All nacelles for the two projects will be produced in the factory in Villadangos del Páramo.
“Support and commitment to wind power in the Castilla y León region is a model in the wind industry, and the order for the two wind power plants is a further strengthening of Vestas’ activities in the region,” says Ebbe Funk, President of Vestas Mediterranean A/S and continues: “This is the first order which Parques Eólicos San Lorenzo S.L.U. has placed with Vestas and we look forward to developing a long-term cooperation with this customer.”
The wind power plants have an estimated production of 255,000 MWh per year which corresponds to an annual saving of 139,740 tons of CO2 emission.
The above order does not affect the Vestas Group’s expectations for 2006, cf. Stock exchange announcement No. 39/2006 of 24 August 2006.
Any questions may be addressed to Ebbe Funk, President of Vestas Mediterranean A/S, telephone +34 93 241 9800 or to Peter Wenzel Kruse, Vice President of Communication & IR at Vestas Wind Systems A/S, telephone +45 9730 0000.
