Vestas secures 50 MW order and surpasses 1 GW order intake in Portugal – EQ Mag Pro

Vestas has signed a 50 MW contract for the repowering of four wind parks to be located in the north of Portugal. The contract includes the supply and installation of eleven V150-4.5 MW wind turbines, as well as a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement.

With these projects, Vestas reaches the milestone of 1 GW order intake for wind energy projects in Portugal. The company also provides service to almost 1 GW of wind turbines in the country, both from Vestas and other brands.

“With these projects, we reach two great milestones in Portugal, as they are the first with our V150-4.5 MW technology and they led us to reach the landmark of 1 GW of orders in the country. We are proud to see how our 4 MW platform continues to answer our customer’s needs optimising its business case while contributing enormously to the Portuguese sustainable development”, says Agustín Sánchez Tembleque, Vestas General Manager for Spain and Portugal.

Turbine delivery is expected by the fourth quarter of 2022 whilst commissioning is planned between the second and third quarters of 2023.
