Vestas wins U.S. order for its 4-MW platform with 60% PTC-qualifying components

By Michelle Froese | January 2, 2019

 

The Vestas 4-MW platform is designed for a range of wind site conditions.

The Vestas 4-MW platform is designed for increased AEP and a range of wind site conditions.

Vestas has received a 22-MW order of 4-MW platform compatible turbine components that qualify for the 60% PTC value from an undisclosed customer.

According to the manufacturer, these components will enable future wind energy projects that complete construction by the end of 2022.

The long-term PTC phase-down terms set in the PATH act, passed by Congress in 2015, made the wind industry the first energy industry to agree to permanent tax reform and have resulted billions of dollars in wind energy investment in the U.S. This includes expansions in domestic manufacturing and supply chain, construction, transportation, tax revenue to local communities, and the addition of tens of thousands of jobs across the wind value chain.
