Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems (VWS.F) said on Tuesday it had received a 126 megawatt turbine order from a project in Thailand.

The order from Had Kanghan Wind Farm project is for 70 units of the V110-1.8 MW turbine, including delivery, installation, commissioning and a five-year service agreement, Vestas said in a stock exchange announcement.
