Vestas to ship 41 MW of wind turbines to Ukraine

March 16 (Renewables Now) - Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS) said on Thursday it has received a firm and unconditional order for a 41-MW wind project in southern Ukraine.

More specifically, Vindkraft Tavriya LLC has purchased 12 units of the V126-3.45 MW turbines for the Novotroitsk wind park in the village of Overyanovka in Kherson province’s Novotroitsk district. The contract covers the supply and commissioning of the machines, and also includes a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution.

Vestas will deliver and commission the turbines in the third quarter of 2017.

The company restarted its market activities in Ukraine late last year. At the very end of December it unveiled a 21-MW order for the Staryi Sambir 2 wind farm in the Lviv region.

"We look forward to build on our momentum and further contribute to the overall growth of renewable and energy production in Ukraine,” Nils de Baar, president of Vestas Central Europe, said today.
