Vestas has received a firm and unconditional order for 29 V100-2.0 MW turbines for a wind power project in Poland. The order was placed by EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN), a leader in renewable energy power generation.

The wind turbine delivery is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2015 with commissioning expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015. This project is a part of the Frame Agreement signed between EDF EN and Vestas for Europe and the USA in 2011. 

The EPC contract includes foundation works, supply, installation and commissioning of the 29 V100-2.0 MW turbines, along with a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution and a two-year service agreement (AOM 4000).
