Canada - Vestas wins order for V82-1.65 MW wind turbines
Vestas has received an order from the Red Lily Wind Energy for 16 V82-1.65MW wind turbines for a wind project to be developed by Algonquin Power in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada.
The turbines will be delivered in late 2010, with commissioning of the 26MW project expected by the beginning of 2011. The order also includes a 10-year service and maintenance agreement.
Martha Wyrsch, president of Vestas Americas, said: "The V82-1.65MW turbine is an extremely reliable turbine. We are glad to continue our strong partnership with Algonquin, with whom we have worked since the St Leon project in 2005."
Ian Robertson, CEO of Algonquin Power, said: "Algonquin looks forward to managing the development and construction of the project for the Red Lily Wind Energy Partnership. We know the V82-1.65MW turbine very well. As was the case with the St Leon project, which we own, we are confident that Vestas will continue to support the machine and the project going forward."
Red Lily Wind Energy is owned by the Concord Pacific Group. The company has engaged Algonquin Power to provide development and construction management services for the project.
