Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has secured an order from Hydro Tasmania to deliver turbines for the Musselroe wind farm project to be constructed in Tasmania, Australia.
Under the contract, Vestas will supply, install and commission 56 units of the V90-3.0MW wind turbine for the project.
The contract also includes a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution and a ten-year service agreement.
The V90-3.0MW wind turbines are designed to be easily transported and installed as they are light in weight.
Vestas Asia Pacific president Sean Sutton said the company is pleased to be chosen as the wind energy solution partner by Hydro Tasmania for the development of the Musselroe Wind Farm, whose location is ideally suited to the Vestas V90-3.0MW turbine.
