Vestas lands major Thai order from Wind Energy HoldingCorporate

Vestas Asia Pacific has won a 180-megawatt wind-park contract in Thailand,
including the delivery of 60 V136-3.0 MW turbines that will be the first of
their kind in Asia-Pacific.

With a hub height of 157 metres, the dual wind parks will feature the
highest towers in the region to date, company president Clive Turton said on
Monday.

The firm and unconditional order has been placed by a new customer,
Thailand's Wind Energy Holding, and is for the T2 Tropical Wind Farm and T3
KRS Three Wind Farm in Nakhon Ratchasima and Chaiyaphum provinces,
respectively. The order includes supply and installation of the turbines as
well as a 15-year Active Output Management 4000 service contract in which
Vestas guarantees a defined high level of availability and performance.

It also includes VestasOnline Business, Vestas's unique SCADA system for
data-driven monitoring and preventive maintenance. "Wind Energy Holding is
the largest wind-park operator in Southeast Asia and their choice of Vestas
and our V136-3.0 MW turbine is a great testament to our strong offering in
Thailand. With our proven track record in the region and ability to provide
customised solutions for Thailand's low wind conditions, we offer the low
cost of energy and business case certainty that the market demands," Turton
said. Turbine delivery is expected to start late this year, with
commissioning in mid-2018. Vestas Asia Pacific, which is based in Singapore,
is part of Denmark-headquartered energy group Vestas.
