Vestas Gets 26 MW Order in Sweden

Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems said on Tuesday it had received a 26 megawatt turbine order for a wind project in Sweden.

The order was for eight units of the V112-3.3 MW turbine for the Kungsbacka-Iglasjon wind power plant, Vestas said in a press release.

The contract includes delivery, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a five year service agreement, Vestas said.

The delivery and commissioning of turbines is expected to take place in the second half of 2016.

Wind turbine orders with a value above 500 million Danish crowns ($74 million) are disclosed by Vestas as stock exchange announcements, while smaller ones are published as press releases on its website.
