New 106 MW order extends Vestas’ Argentinean leadership
News release from
Vestas MediterraneanMadrid, 18 May 2018
With the establishment of an assembly factory
and a record-high order intake of close to 600 MW in Argentina last
year, Vestas is already playing a key role in helping the country’s
ambitious targets for a more sustainable energy mix. Further
underlining this leading position in Argentina’s growing wind
energy market, Vestas has received a 106 MW order for two wind
parks located nearby Bahia Blanca city in the Province of Buenos
Aires.
The order is placed by Pampa Energía S.A. and
includes supply and installation of 28 V136-3.45 MW turbines
delivered in 3.8 MW Power Optimised Mode for Pampa and De La Bahía
wind park that both have a total capacity of 53 MW. The order
includes a 20-year Active Output Management (AOM 5000) service
agreement.
“Last year, Vestas signed contracts for almost
600 MW in Argentina and with this new order, we have close to 1 GW
of wind capacity either installed or under construction in the
country. Our strong order intake and the recent announcement of our
assembly facility in Argentina emphasise our commitment and support
to the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets”, says Andrés
Gismondi, Sales Director of Vestas Argentina.
Turbine delivery is planned for the last quarter
of 2018, whilst commissioning is expected for the first quarter of
2019.
Vestas and Pampa Energía S.A. have previously
developed the 100 MW Corti wind park in the same region. The
project is already constructed and will be inaugurated next
Tuesday, 22 May.
