Vestas Wind Systems has announced that it has received an order to provide 126 MW to a large-scale wind park in Thailand. The Danish wind energy giant announced on Tuesday
that it had received an order for 70 units of the V110-1.8 MW turbine
for the 126 MW Had Kanghan project, located in the Songkla and Nakhon Si
Thamarat provinces of Thailand.
The order was placed by
developer Energy Absolute PCL, with delivery and commissioning both
expected in 2016. “As one of the leading renewable energy companies in Thailand, Energy
Absolute PCL has found in Vestas the right partner for this project, a
company with a proven track record of business case certainty and
developing wind projects in emerging markets like Thailand,” said
Somphote Ahunai, Chief Executive Officer of Energy Absolute PCL. “We
believe the partnership with Vestas will bring huge success for us in
our first wind power project.”
“We are pleased that Energy Absolute has selected Vestas to partner
with them for their first wind energy project, which will contribute to
enhancing Thailand’s energy independence,” said Chris Beaufait,
President of Vestas Asia Pacific & China. “With our technologically
advanced 2 MW variant turbine and our unique tower crane solution, which
is well-suited for this project, Vestas can provide Energy Absolute an
superior annual energy production and low cost of energy, helping to
secure business case certainty for their investment.”
This will be Vestas’ first large-scale wind park in Thailand, and
upon completion the Had Kanghan project will be one of Southeast Asia’s
largest such projects. Vestas is also contracted to supply a five-year
service contract, which is on the shorter side of Vestas’ service
contract offerings.
