Vestas receives large order for China

Vestas has received an order for four projects in Inner Mongolia comprising a total of 232 units of the V52-850 kW turbine. The order has been received from China Guangdong Nuclear Wind Power Co. Ltd., which is part of the China Guangdong Nuclear Group. The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines, a VestasOnline® Business SCADA system and a two-year maintenance and service agreement.

“We are very pleased that China Guangdong Nuclear Wind Power Co. Ltd., which is one of the leading companies within wind power in China, has chosen Vestas as one of their major suppliers, and we look forward to working together with them on these new projects in Inner Mongolia,” says Thorbjørn N Rasmussen, President of Vestas Asia Pacific A/S.

Like other nuclear power developers, China Guangdong Nuclear has in recent years been diversifying their activities from nuclear power into clean, safe and modern power production technologies like wind power.

Delivery of the turbines will begin in mid 2008 and is expected completed by the end of 2009. All turbines will be delivered from Vestas’ production facilities in Tianjin, China.

The above order does not affect the Vestas Group’s expectations for 2008, cf. Company announcement No. 35/2007 of 6 November 2007.
