In collaboration with Global Power Generation, a subsidiary of Naturgy Group, Vestas has secured a 328 MW deal for two wind projects in Victoria, Australia.
The order includes the supply and installation of 52 V136-4.2 MW wind turbines for the Ryan Corner wind farm, as well as the engineering, procurement and construction of 26 V136-4.2 MW wind turbines for the second phase of the Berrybank wind farm.
Upon completion, Vestas will enter into a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM5000) service agreement for both projects. With a guarantee of energy-based supply, service agreements would optimize energy efficiency and provide long-term business case certainty for Global Power Generation.
“We are proud that customers from all around the world turn to Vestas for our leading technology, market experience, broad service solutions and ultimately, the best return on investment for their wind project. Global Power Generation is a valued customer to Vestas globally and we look forward to building upon our existing partnership.”
Clive Turton, president of Vestas Asia Pacific.

The two projects are planned to provide renewable energy to approximately 120,000 households. In addition, almost 500 jobs will be generated during the construction of the projects.
Delivery of turbines for both projects is scheduled to take place in the third quarter of 2021, with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
