Vestas secures 84 MW service deal with option for up to 150 MW in Romania

Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas said on Wednesday it has secured a 15-year service contract covering 84 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity with an option for up to 150 MW in Romania.

The service contract covers 42 V90-2.0 MW turbines at the Topolog Dorobantu wind power plant in the southeastern county of Tulcea, Vestas said in a statement.

The order has been placed by LUKERG Renew, a joint venture between ERG Renew and LUKOIL.

The last of the 42 turbines is expected to be installed in April this year. LUKERG Renew connected the first 41 turbines to the grid last November.

The Topolog Dorobantu project is one of the largest projects in Romania and produces more than 200 gigawatt hour (GWh) per year. It provides enough electricity to cover the residential electricity consumption of more than 60,000 Romanian households.

Vestas entered the Romanian market in 2008.
