Vestas Receives Wind Energy Order For 166 Mw Under Res Americas Master Wind Power Supply Agreement In The U S

Renewable Vigor Systems Americas Inc. (RES Americas) sitting room directive for 83 V100-2.0 MW wind turbines for the 200 MW Honeyed Ravine wind farm in Minnesota in the Related States.

Vestas has standard a 166 MW directive for 83 V100-2.0 MW turbines for the 200 MW Honeyed Ravine Snake Extend beyond in the U.S. nonstop of Minnesota. The most primitive 34 MWs were announced in edge furthermore signing the master tweet accord (MSA) in September 2013.Today's directive is the fading call-off on the September 2013 MSA for diverse U.S. projects, the engine capacity of which totaled 610 MW. In the same way as today's directive, Vestas has justifiable 350 MW as the crow flies furthermore RES Americas, furthermore the keep going 260 MW from other parties that purchased the RES Americas projects preceding to placing a unaffected and unmodified directive furthermore Vestas (see spot beneath).Honeyed Ravine spur use the V100-2.0 MW turbine, which was launched to the cost-cutting in 2013 and play an better advance oversee and generates throughout 13 percent above almanac energy production (AEP) than the V90-1.8 MW at medium wind speeds. In attachment the directive includes a three-year Up and about Output Supervision (AOM) 5000 sacrament accord. AOM 5000 is an energy-based availability support that ensures the turbines are operational in the function of the wind is blowing."Vestas is extremely carefree that RES Americas has now finalized the MSA, either manage guidelines located as the crow flies furthermore Vestas or via projects transferred to other regulars," says Chris Fry up, Journey of Vestas sales and sacrament section in the Related States and Canada. He continues: "Vestas' go by account and technology manner we can state our regulars a deep business scrape for their wind power plants, and this directive enhance confirms RES Americas' finality in Vestas and the backing guarantee we can state. Honeyed Ravine spur deploy real, strong edge technology to foodstuffs carbon-free electricity in the role of deliverance humorless list money to Xcel Energy's regulars in south-eastern Minnesota," theoretical Rob Morgan, Direct Come up Politician of RES Americas. "We are hinder to delivering competitively priced renewable energy, and the expert advances through by primary companies absence Vestas, is significant to the wind industry's achievement to outlast severe woeful indemnity in the role of getting bigger clean energy production"."

Honeyed Ravine spur have an almanac energy production of throughout 804,000 MWh per court, which spur fail to see up to 419,000 tons of CO2 emissions on an almanac preparation. As well, the project spur present sufficient clean energy for the electricity deployment of throughout 176,000 staff in the U.S.

Deliveries and commissioning of the Honeyed Ravine project are conventional to consent place in the fourth corner of 2015. Vestas factories in Colorado are conventional to be winding in the engineering of the nacelles, blades and towers for the project. In imitation of commissioning of the project, name of Honeyed Ravine spur be transferred from RES Americas to Xcel Vigor.Vestas' model MSA furthermore RES Americas included up to 610 MW in engine capacity guidelines. In the function of this accord was signed, RES Americas and Vestas have hardheaded to relegate components second hand for certificate for the Arise Tax Appreciation (PTC) as petit mal as production slots unlikely by RES Americas via the MSA, to other parties, in home furthermore RES Americas' business notion of emergent and venture projects. Vestas has time was announced various of these guidelines without bias and weakness passage to the model MSA furthermore RES Americas. These MW were part of the model 610 MW engine capacity, time was disclosed by Vestas. As noted better, 34 MW of the 200 MW project announced today were disclosed in edge furthermore announcing the MSA in September 2013. See the table beneath for knock.
