Vestas has secured another order in Vietnam for two projects totalling 64 MW located in complex mountainous terrain in Quang Tri province.

Vestas will supply, transport, install and commission a total of 16 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines delivered in 4.0 MW operating mode. The site consists of remote and complex mountainous terrain, characterised by high gradient slopes and sharp turns with little space for components, logistics and installation.
Utilising its extensive siting and project planning capabilities, Vestas was able to help the two local project owners, Huong Tan Wind Power Joint Stock Company and Tan Linh Wind Power Joint Stock Company, select the appropriate turbine model for the specific wind conditions at the site in order to achieve the highest possible return on investment.
“Vestas is once again leading the market in Vietnam” said Clive Turton, President of Vestas Asia Pacific. “We are very proud to partner with local developers Huong Tan Wind Power JSC and Tan Linh Wind Power JSC and look forward to working closely with them to support their growing ambition to develop more wind projects across Vietnam. With our inhouse siting, logistics, and construction experts, we are able to work closely with all our customers to help them achieve their commercial objectives on all manner of sites around the Asia Pacific region”.
The order also includes a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for both projects, designed to maximise energy production for both sites. With a yield-based availability guarantee, Vestas will provide the customer with long-term business case certainty. The projects are  planned to achieve commissioning in the end of second quarter of 2021.

With this new order, Vestas has closed more than 160 MW of deals in Vietnam in 2020.
