Vestas -alles andere als flügellahm

“Being chosen as the turbine supplier and service provider for EnBW and Borusan proves that our products and services have earned the trust of our partners during the last 30 years,” comments Marco Graziano, President of Vestas Mediterranean. “Our goal is to secure the lowest cost of energy and best possible performance for our customers throughout the turbines’ lifetime.”

Together, the three contracts amount to 158.4 MW and include supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, a VestasOnline® Business SCADA system, as well as a five-year full-scope service agreement (AOM 4000).

Once completed, the three wind power plants will have a total estimated annual production of more than 500,000 MWh per year, saving the environment from over 230,000 tons of CO2 emissions on an annual basis. Furthermore, it will provide enough electricity to cover the residential electricity consumption of more than 830,000 people in Turkey.
