Gestamp Eólica, a subsidiary of Spanish renewable energy company Gestamp Wind, has awarded a turbine delivery contract to Vesta for five wind power projects in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
Under the deal, Vestas Wind Systems will supply 53 of its V110-2.0MW turbines for the Cabeço Preto III, V and VI, and Macambira I and II wind projects.
Vestas has also signed a full-scope service agreement for the projects, which includes provision for active output management (AOM) 4000 for ten years.
The Danish wind equipment manufacturer is expected to deliver the turbines for the wind farms by the first quarter of 2016.
The Cabeço Preto III, V and VI wind projects are likely to generate 390GWh of renewable power annually. The projects are expected to be commissioned by the second quarter of 2016.
On the other hand, Macambira I and II developments are expected to start operations by the third quarter of 2016. Once operational, the twin wind farms will supply 195GWh of power annually.
