Vestas has announced that it has received an order for 202 MW of V136-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode from Capital Power for its Whitla Wind project located in southeast Alberta, Canada.
The Whitla Wind Project was selected as one of four projects by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) in Alberta’s first renewable energy auction, a competition that attracted global participation. The auction set a record breaking low cost benchmark for wind energy costs in Canada, and resulted in Alberta expanding its original wind MW allocation target nearly 50%, from 400 MW to nearly 600 MW.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines as well as a ten-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to maximize uptime and energy production and ensure optimized performance for the lifetime of the project.
Turbine delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2019 with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter.
