Vestas receives Canadian order for 16 turbines
Vestas received an order from the Red Lily Wind Energy Partnership for 16 wind turbines for the Red Lily Wind Project being developed by Algonquin Power in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada.
The turbines, Vestas' V82-1.65 MW model, will be delivered in late 2010, with commissioning for the 26-MW project expected by the beginning of 2011. The order also includes a 10-year service and maintenance agreement.
“The V82-1.65 MW turbine is an extremely reliable turbine,” says Martha Wyrsch, the Portland-based president of Vestas Americas in a press release. “We are glad to continue our strong partnership with Algonquin.”
The Red Lily Wind Energy Partnership is owned by the Concord Pacific Group. The partnership has engaged Algonquin Power to provide development and construction management services for the project. At the end of last year, Vestas had supplied 953 turbines to Canada.
Last month, Vestas received an order for 85 turbines from We Energies in Wisconsin.
