Vestas has secured a wind turbine supply contract for the 200MW Odell wind farm project in Minnesota, US.
The contract has been awarded by Odell Wind Farm, a joint venture between Algonquin Power and a third party.
Scope of the contract includes the supply of 100 units of Vestas’ V110 2MW turbines, which are expected to be delivered during the third quarter of 2015.
To be built across four counties on 23,000 acres of land, the Odell wind project is expected to become operational by the end of next year.
The Odell wind project will generate 816.6GW-hrs of energy annually which will be sold to Xcel Energy’s subsidiary, under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Vestas had earlier delivered V82 1.65MW turbines to Algonquin for the St Leon project in Manitoba and the Red Lily development in Saskatchewan.
