In partnership with Global Power Generation, a subsidiary of the multinational power company Naturgy Group, Vestas has secured a 328 MW deal for two wind projects in Victoria, Australia.
The order includes the supply and installation of 52 V136-4.2 MW wind turbines for the Ryan Corner Wind Farm as well as the engineering, procurement, and construction of 26 V136-4.2 MW wind turbines for the second stage of Berrybank Wind Farm.
Both projects mark an important step towards building smarter, more liveable, and emissions-free cities. In addition to this, the second stage of Berrybank Wind Farm is one of the successful projects under the Australian Capital Territory's 2019-20 renewable energy auction and will be Vestas' fifth Australian project to be initiated through a government renewable energy auction scheme.
Upon completion, Vestas will commence a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for both projects. With an energy-based availability guarantee, the service agreements will maximize energy production and provide Global Power Generation with long-term business case certainty.
Delivery of the turbines for both projects is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021, with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
