Vestas has signed its first order in 2011 with China Longyuan Power Group for 48 MW. The order consists of 24 units of the V80-2.0 MW turbine which will be installed in Zhongmen, Putian County in the coastal province of Fujian in south eastern China. This order is signed in continuation of the 36 MW order which was signed between Longyuan and Vestas in 2010 and marks another important step in an evolving partnership between the two companies.
Longyuan and Vestas have been working together since 2005 and the joint efforts have resulted in more than 500 MW of wind projects to date, consisting of more than 360 turbines covering both kW and MW class turbines. Longyuan is one of Vestas’ largest customers in China with most Vestas turbines installed. By the end of 2010, Longyuan was still the largest wind energy developer in China with more than 6,500 MW of accumulated installed capacity.
The CEO of Longyuan, Mr Xie Changjun, says, “We have chosen Vestas’ V80 turbine because we are confident in its performance. It allows us to reduce the need for maintenance and replacement of components which means that we can reduce our stock of spare parts. At the same time, we are very pleased with Vestas’ efforts in advancing their services, including reducing turbine down-time, lost production and installation time, which has given us more confidence in working with Vestas.”
