62 MW of this new order will be installed in the region of Apulia, which is one of the windiest regions in Italy. By 31 December 2007, Vestas had already installed around 350 MW in the Apulia region. The remaining 40 MW will be installed in the Molise region, where Vestas had an accumulated installed capacity of around 75 MW by 31 December 2007.
