Vestas has received a 53MW turbine order for two wind projects in Vietnam.

The order, placed by Thuan Binh Wind Power Joint Stock Company (TBW), is for the supply, transportation, installation and commissioning of 13 V150-4.2MW turbines to be delivered in different power ratings to optimise the projects’ energy output, Vestas said.

The order includes a 20-year service agreement for both projects, designed to maximise energy production for the sites.

The projects are slated to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2021.

The Phu Lac Phase 2 wind farm and Loi Hai 2 wind farm projects are located in the Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan provinces along the south-central coast of Vietnam.

It marks the second order for Vestas from TBW, which owns the 24MW Phu Lac Phase 1 wind farm commissioned in 2015 that features 12 V100-2.0MW wind turbines.

Vestas Asia Pacific president Clive Turton said: “It is great to be able to partner with TBW once again for these two wind farms, following our previous cooperation back in 2015.

“As the deadline for Vietnam’s Feed-In-Tariff quickly approaches, our partnership with TBW still enables us to deliver these projects within the time limit, maximising the benefits to our customer and to the Vietnam wind industry.”

TBW chief executive Bui Van Thinh added: “Five years ago, Vestas was the turbine supplier of an EPC contract that TBW signed for the 24MW Phu Lac 1 wind farm … TBW is thrilled to be working directly with Vestas this time for our next two wind projects with a total capacity of 53MW.

“We would like to thank Vestas for the good job done at Phu Lac 1 and look forward to more successes with Phu Lac Phase 2 and Loi Hai 2 wind farms.”
