Vestas has agreed to deliver 27 units of V100-1.8MW turbine with a total capacity of 48.6MW for the installation at the Long Ganhu wind farm in the Hubei province.

The contract includes delivery, transportation, installation supervision and commissioning of the wind turbines, a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution as well as a two-year service and maintenance agreement.

The first turbines are scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of this year.

The V100 turbine is especially developed for low wind sites and designed on the proven 2MW platform.

Vestas China president Jens Tommerup said the low-wind sites in China is a new market of huge potential, but a new market also implies new challenges for wind power developers.
