Vestas has secured a 756MW turbine order from an EPC contract for the first stage of Golden Plains Wind Farm, located in Victoria, Australia. This will be Vestas’ largest onshore wind farm in the Asia Pacific and will have 122 V 162-6.2MW wind turbines from the EnVentus platform. Vestas will deliver a 30-year service and maintenance agreement upon project completion.
The Vice President of Sales, Vestas Australia and New Zealand, Jan-Daniel Kämmer, said: “Vestas is very pleased to forge a new and valuable partnership with TagEnergy, and project operator WestWind. To support the first stage of Golden Plains Wind Farm, Vestas has levered our capabilities across siting and technology design, finance solutions and grid connection”.
Peter Boeskov, Chief Commercial Officer, Global Wind & Structured Finance, said: “This landmark transaction was made possible through creative collaboration between TagEnergy and lenders, but also through Vestas’ proactive and persistent approach, fronted by the Vestas Financial Solutions APAC team, who brought EKF into the project early in the process. As a result, since 2005, EKF has participated in financing Vesta’s wind farms in Australia with a capacity of 1.7 GW. We will remain focused on providing financial solutions and support to sustainable projects”.
