Shitang wind power plant will provide clean electricity to the Fujian province in China

Vestas has received a 48 MW order from Fujian Funeng New Energy Co. Ltd. for 24 units of the V90-2.0 MW wind turbine. The Shitang wind power plant will provide clean electricity to the Fujian province in China. 

The contract includes delivery, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, which is expected to occur during the third and fourth quarter of 2015. The project also includes a three-year Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 service contract.
