The Tallest Turbines to be erected in China, 137m goes out to bid and the winner is Vestas

Vestas is the only global energy company dedicated exclusively to wind energy. Founded in 1898 as a blacksmith shop in western Denmark, started producing wind turbines in 1979, has won an order for what it says will be the tallest turbines in China.

The order for 40 of its V110-2.0MW turbines was placed by Titan Wind Energy for a project in eastern China’s Shandong Province. The but heights will be 137m.

“Titan has been Vestas’ tower supplier for about 10 years. We are pleased to see that the relationship between us has expanded and upgraded from a buyer-supplier one into a closer and enriched partnership”, said Chris Beaufait, president of Vestas Asia Pacific and China.

The order also includes a two-year service contract, in which Vestas guarantees a defined level of availability and performance. It will also be providing data-driven monitoring and preventive maintenance.

Delivery of turbines is expected in the second quarter of 2017, with commissioning scheduled for the second half of the year.

This brings the total amount of GW under Vestas umbrella to surpass and gained a market-leading position with 77 GW of installed wind power and more than 63 GW under service globally
