Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has secured a contract to repower a 139MW wind farm owned by Vitol in the US.
Located in Pennsylvania, the wind project will replace its existing Senvion MM92-2.05MW wind turbines with 68 Vestas V110-2.0 MW models, which will be delivered in 2.05MW operating mode.
Vitol renewable and sustainable energy head Andrew de Pass stated: “Vitol will continue to invest in renewables across the US.
“Across all our assets, we believe in optimising performance through investment and improvement. We are pleased to be working with Vestas on another repowering project.”
Vestas will be responsible for the supply and commissioning of the wind turbines.
It has also signed a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreement to ensure the optimised performance of the wind turbines.
