Under the deal, Vestas will commission the turbines in late 2016 as well as provide a three-year active output management (AOM 5000) service.

EDF RE executive vice-president Ryan Pfaff said: "We are pleased to have placed our first 2016 US wind turbine order with Vestas, building upon the strong relationship forged between our two companies over the past three years, through more than 1,000MW of joint business."

The turbine supply agreement for Salt Fork project is part of a a master supply contract signed by Vestas and EDF RE in December 2014 for up to 1GW potential capacity.

The wind farm is expected to generate around 200MW power.

The municipal utility, Garland Power & Light (GP&L) will purchase the power and renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the project under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).
