Vestas receives large orders in China

Vestas has received orders for a total of 187 MW consisting of 220 units of the V52-850 kW wind turbine for two wind power projects in China.

The two orders have been placed by Datang Chifeng Saihanba Wind Power Co., Ltd. and Yilan Longyuan Wind Power Co., Ltd. and the orders comprise 152 and 68 units of the V52 - 850 kW turbine, respectively. Both companies are state-owned utilities and developers and are among the “big five” in China’s electrical power sector. The orders comprise supply and commissioning of the turbines.

Delivery of the turbines will begin in the autumn of 2007, and commissioning of the wind power plants will take place at the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008. The projects are located in the provinces of Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia in the northern and north-eastern part of China.

“We are very pleased to enter into these contracts with Datang and Longyuan, who are two of the leading wind power operators in China. Both Datang and Longyuan are long-term customers of Vestas, and the signing of these contracts is yet another milestone in our close relationship with both companies,” says Thorbjørn N. Rasmussen, President of Vestas Asia Pacific A/S, and continues: “We are firmly committed to our Chinese customers and to the Chinese market, and we are pleased to see a continuous strong growth and a positive outlook for the Chinese market.”

The above orders do not affect the Vestas Group’s expectations for 2007, cf. Stock exchange announcement No. 49/2006 of 22 November 2006.
