Customised solution secures V150-4.2 MW order with record hub heights in Vietnam
SINGAPORE, April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

A 67 MW order for two projects in Vietnam underlines Vestas' ability to deliver 
a tailormade and innovative solution featuring the tallest turbines in the 
country for a challenging site with complex installation requirements. 

Vestas will supply, transport, install and commission a total of 16 V150-4.2 MW 
wind turbines delivered in different power ratings to optimise the projects' 
energy output. The customised tower solution takes the turbines to 162m hub 
heights and opens up new wind resources by allowing access to higher and more 
consistent wind speeds.

Located in a wetland area of the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam and 
surrounded by aquaculture shrimp farms, the sites' limited space and complex 
infrastructure requires a specific transportation and installation solution to 
construct the projects. To successfully execute the projects, Vestas has 
developed a solution using a specialised tower crane to significantly reduce 
the hardstand space necessary to erect the turbines.

The order also includes a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) 
service agreement, designed to maximise energy production for both sites. With 
a yield-based availability guarantee, Vestas will provide the customer with 
long-term business case certainty.

"These projects feature the tallest towers in Vietnam and showcases Vestas' 
ability to optimise the value proposition for our client and develop 
site-specific solutions for all wind sites," said Clive Turton, President of 
Vestas Asia Pacific.  "With the strong traction we are gaining in the country 
over the last few months, I am confident that we will be playing a big part in 
the future development of Vietnam's renewable energy market."

The project and customer are undisclosed at the customer's request .

The project is planned to achieve commissioning in the third quarter of 2021.
