Vestas will supply, install and commission three V112-3.0MW turbines (pictured above) and nine units of the V90-2.0MW turbine for the wind power plants. The contract also includes a 15-year “Active Management Output (AOM) 4000” service agreement which will provide a full maintenance package at the sites. The building of the turbines will begin shortly and should be installed and working by the beginning of 2014.

Aspiravi and Limburg win(d)t director Rik Van de Walle said:

“We are currently operating about 50 Vestas wind turbines in Belgium and abroad and in these projects Vestas has demonstrated to be a partner for us more than purely a contractor. Vestas understands that high level project management combined with flexibility is required during the construction of a wind power plant together with reliable performance during operation. The fact that in 2012 we had already selected the Vestas V112 for the Northwind 216 MW offshore wind power plant proves that we believe in this wind turbine” .

Vestas Central Europe senior vice president of sales Hans Vestergaard said:

“Further developing our long-term partnership with Aspiravi NV and Limburg win(d)t, one of the key players in the wind energy sector in Belgium, is part of our continuous efforts to meet our customers’ needs with efficient wind energy solutions.”

Vestas are one of the largest manufacturers of wind turbines. To date they have installed nearly 50,000 turbines in 73 countries, contributing to a great reduction in global carbon emissions.

The contract includes the supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines along with a 15-year full-scope service agreement (AOM 4000). The construction of the turbines for the wind power plants is expected to start end of 2013 and the projects are expected to be commissioned by the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014.

The V112-3.0MW turbine is one of the most respected turbines around today. It was introduced in August 2010 and Vestas has now expanded the 3 MW platform to include the V112-3.3 MW, the V117-3.3 MW and the V126-3.3 MW to cover the high, medium and low wind market segments.
