In cooperation with its partner, Boreas, the wind power planner and operator wpd has concluded a bulk order on 32 wind turbine generators with Vestas. The contract was signed within the framework of the Hannover Messe International last week on the backdrop of a major project in Thuringia, for which the companies acquired a total for 32 Vestas V90-turbines of the 2-megawatt-class with a hub height of 125 meters. “We enjoyed the constructive discussions with Vestas at the Hannover fair and we’re happy about the signed contract and as a perspective, we would like to tackle further projects together,” declares Lars Mueller, in charge of turbine acquisition.
