Vestas receives 33 MW order for first V126-3.3 MW turbines in Austria

smart-energy Betriebs GmbH orders 10 V126-3.3 MW turbines for a wind power plant in Lower Austria.

Vestas is pleased to announce a firm and unconditional order for 10 V126-3.3 MW turbines from smart-energy Betriebs GmbH for their wind power plant Hohenruppersdorf II. The turbine delivery is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2015 and commissioning is planned for the second quarter of 2016.

The contract includes supply, installation, foundation works and commissioning of the turbines, along with a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution and a 20-year full-scope service agreement (AOM 4000).

"Based on its large rotor diameter, the V126 is best suited for harvesting medium- to low-wind sites", says Martin Blochberger, Managing Director of smart-energy Betriebs GmbH. "Vestas' offering from the product economics to the product quality, the trust in Vestas project execution staff up to the customer friendly service package are all well-suited to our needs".

"We are very pleased with being selected as the supplier and long-term service partner on the 33 MW Hohenruppersdorf II project", states Dr. Christoph Vogel, President of Vestas Central Europe. "The V126-3.3 MW is an excellent choice for delivering a strong business case for customers with wind power plants at medium- and low-wind sites."
