Danish company Vestas Wind System A/S has received an order for the delivery of 50 1,8 MW and 50 2,0 MW wind turbines for Bulgaria and Romania. The order has been placed by Global Wind Power.

The new contract includes delivery, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, and a 5-year service agreement, according to a Vestas announcement on Wednesday.

Installation of the turbines will start in 2010 and the projects are expected to be commissioned during that year.

"We are very satisfied with this new contract with Global Wind Power and we appreciate the ongoing cooperation with this long-term business partner, who has installed more than 400 MW of Vestas technology. We are pleased about their confidence in Vestas' business case certainty," says Hans Jorn Rieks, President of Vestas Central Europe.

Global Wind Power has already implemented four wind energy projects in Bulgaria during 2008 and 2009, with a total capacity of 52 MW, with all of them using Vestas turbines.

"We have a very good working experience with Vestas all over Europe, and so far, we have only been using Vestas turbines for our projects. The order is a direct result of our newly launched Business Plan 2009-2012. We are confident that these projects will also be a big success and we look forward to realizing the order with our trustworthy business partner," Henrik Amby Jensen, CEO of Global Wind Power declared.
