Danish wind turbine supplier Vestas has received an order from US-based electricity utility AES for the delivery of 52 units of its V90 3MW wind turbine.
The contract includes delivery, installation and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a five-year service and maintenance agreement. Delivery is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2008, and the project will be completed by the end of 2009.
