Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has announced a series of new orders for wind farms in Germany, Poland, Norway and China totalling 450MW.

The largest single order is from German wind energy developer Prokon Energiesysteme for seventy 2MW turbines to be used at a series of projects in Poland.
Twenty-five of the turbines are scheduled for delivery in late 2011, with with the rest to follow in 2012.
Prokon is one of Vestas’ most important customers, according to Hans Jörn Rieks, president of Vestas Central Europe.
In a separate deal, an unnamed German customer has ordered 12 of the company’s 3MW turbines, designed for lower wind conditions, and thirty-two 2MW turbines – a total of 100MW for various projects in the states of Hesse, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.
Erneuerbare Energien Teetzleben, also based in Germany, has ordered seven 3MW turbines for the Breesen-Teetzleben Wind Farm in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with delivery scheduled to be complete by mid-2011.
Norway’s Troms Kraft has ordered eighteen 3MW turbines for a project in Fakken near Tromsø, to be installed by 2012.
Finally, Vestas has received an order for 49.3MW from Chongli Construction Investment Huashi Wind Power Company in China. The order is for a mixture of V52-850kW and V60-850kW wind turbines, which will be installed at Jiaochekou wind farm in Chongli County, Hebei province, northern China.
Vestas said the 850kW platform was chosen for this project because its micro-siting capabilities fit the complex terrain and wind resources, and because this platform is easier to transport.
All the projects include supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines as well as a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
The slew of deals will be a relief for Vestas after grim predictions earlier this year about the collapse of the European wind market. In October the company announced it would axe 3,000 jobs and close a number of its European factories.
