Danish wind manufacturer Vestas has received an order to supply turbines for the 200MW Odell wind farm located in Minnessota, US.

Under the deal, Vestas will supply 100 of its V110-2.0 MW turbines for the wind project of Odell Wind Farm, which has been formed through a joint venture by Algonquin Power and a third party.

As well as supplying and commissioning the wind turbines, Vestas will be offering ten-year Active Output Management (AOM 5000) service for the facility, which includes guarantee for energy-based availability and will ensure that the turbines are operational.

"With today’s order, we have announced almost 1,500 MW of orders in the US and Canada for the V110 machine, which has rapidly become our flagship in the North American market."

The delivery for the turbines is likely to start in the third quarter of 2015 and the commissioning of the turbines is expected to be concluded by the end of 2015.

The wind project is being built on 23,000 acres of land across four counties and will have a annual generation capacity of 816.6GWh.

Vestas US and Canada sales and service division president Chris Brown said: "We are excited to build yet another successful project with Algonquin, this time using our V110-2.0MW turbine.

"With today’s order, we have announced almost 1,500MW of orders in the US and Canada for the V110 machine, which has rapidly become our flagship in the North American market, and the industry standard for providing reliable energy at a competitive cost over its full operating life."
