With this project, Vestas’ surpasses the milestone of 5 GW of order intake in Brazil for the V150 wind turbines in 4.2 MW standard rating and 4.5 MW Power Optimised Modes. The milestone is reached a year and a half after the turbine variant started being produced in the country. The wind turbines are locally produced under the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) FINAME rules, creating jobs, expanding Brazil’s wind energy industry, and supporting the government’s initiative to promote renewables and a more sustainable energy mix.
The V150-4.2 MW wind turbine was launched in 2017 and has since then secured a global order intake of more than 14 GW, making it one of the most successful wind turbine variants in the industry.
The delivery of wind turbines is planned for 2H2022, with commissioning scheduled for 1Q2023.
