Vestas has 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 an Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for the operation and maintenance of the wind park over the next 20 years, and is placed by Casa dos Ventos, one of the largest wind project developers in Brazil.
The 36 wind turbines will be locally manufactured under the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) FINAME II rules, consolidating the 4 MW platform as the most competitive in the Brazilian market. More specifically, the turbines will be assembled in Vestas’ factory in Aquiraz in the State of Ceará, which will generate hundreds of new jobs once complete, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the Brazilian market.
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.
