First Wind CEO Paul Gaynor said that the company will continue the construction of the Oakfield Wind project and look forward to installing Vestas’ V112-3.0 MW turbines at the wind project.

"The Vestas turbines at our Bull Hill project in Maine and the Palouse project in Washington State have performed well and we expect the Oakfield project to enjoy similar success."

The contract is a call-off on a December 2013 master supply agreement (MSA) with First Wind for multiple US projects.

Vestas sales and service division in the US and Canada president Chris Brown said, "The first project in Maine has achieved 99 per cent availability since it was commissioned in 2012, a testament to the performance of our technology and service capabilities that customers expect from Vestas."
