Renewable power company Elawan Energy – Grupo Orix has placed a 50 MW order for several wind projects in Spain. The contract includes the supply and installation of five V162-6.2 MW wind turbines and three V162-6.2 MW wind turbines delivered in 6.4 MW power mode. The order also includes a 25-year Active Output Maintenance 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.
'We would like to thank Elawan for their trust in Vestas’ technology and service solutions. This order also showcases the suitability of our EnVentus platform for the Spanish market. Its flexible power rating and full-converter technology provide our customers with the reliability they need to develop new wind projects in the country', says Vestas General Manger Spain, José Luis del Cerro.
Turbine delivery for the projects is expected to start in the first quarter of 2025, while commissioning is planned for the second and third quarter of 2025.
Upon commissioning, the wind projects will prevent a total of 24,100 tonnes of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere per year. This is equivalent to removing 16,200 European passenger cars from the road every year.
Vestas has installed over 5.3 GW of wind energy across more than 140 wind parks in Spain since installing the first turbine in 1991.
