The new U.S. order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines with deliveries expected to begin in the third quarter of 2019 and commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter, according to a statement from the company.
"The project and customer are undisclosed as per the customer鈥檚 request," Vestas said.
On Wednesday, the company had confirmed receipt of an order from PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, for 47 V110-2.0 MW turbines, delivered in 2.2 MW Power Optimized Mode, to repower the Goodnoe Hills wind project in the U.S. state of Washington.
"With the order, PacifiCorp repowers the project's existing 47 Senvion MM92 2MW turbines, increasing the project's nameplate capacity from its original 94 MW to 103 MW," a statement read. The project was originally commissioned in 2008.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines as well as a long-term service agreement, designed to ensure optimized performance of the project, Vestas said. Turbine delivery will begin in the first quarter of 2019, it added.
Wednesday's order follows PacifiCorp鈥檚 234 MW order with Vestas to repower the Marengo I and II projects, also located in Washington.
According to the press release, Vestas has received orders across six continents so far in the year, including orders in new markets Panama, Kazakhstan, Bolivia, and Senegal, which underline the strong global demand for wind energy and Vestas' "unparalleled" global reach.
