Vestas receives 160-MW wind order in the U.S. from EDF RE

Since the Vestas 2-MW platform was introduced, more than 33 GW have been installed globally, onshore and offshore.

EDF Renewable Energy (EDF RE) has placed an order with Vestas Wind Systems A/S to supply 160 MW for future wind projects in the U.S. The order is part of a global master supply agreement.

“Since entering our first master supply agreement with Vestas in 2013, EDF RE has installed more than 2 GW of the Vestas wind turbines throughout the United States,” said Tristan Grimbert, President and CEO of EDF Renewable Energy.

He added: “Our order today further demonstrates the success of our partnership and industry collaboration, and more importantly provides a supply of turbines to enable our development portfolio of projects to be built under the PTC guidelines.”

The order includes supply and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as an Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service agreement, a full-scope service package to maximize uptime, performance, and energy production. Nacelles, blades, and towers will be produced at Vestas’ Colorado factories.

“This order secures EDF Renewable Energy’s ability to capture the full value of the PTC by strategically deploying our versatile 2.0-MW platform on a variety of wind sites, delivering more cost-competitive wind energy to rate payers throughout the U.S.,” said Chris Brown, President of Vestas’ sales and service division in the United States and Canada.

Since the Vestas 2-MW platform’s debut, more than 33 GW have been installed globally, both onshore and offshore.

EDF Renewable Energy is one of the largest renewable energy developers in North America with 8 GW of wind, solar, storage, biomass, and biogas projects developed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
