ISTANBUL (Turkey), December 22 (SeeNews) – Danish wind turbine maker Vestas said it has received an order to supply 34 megawatts (MW) of wind turbines to Turkish power producer Kangal Elektrik Uretim for the second phase of its wind farm in the Turkish province of Sivas.

The deal includes the supply and installation of 17 units of Vestas’ V110-2.0 MW wind turbines and an eight-year full scope Active Output Management (AOM 4000) service agreement, Vestas said in a statement on Friday.

The delivery of the turbines is slated for the third quarter of 2015, with commissioning expected in the fourth quarter of the coming year.
