Vestas inks service extension in US

214 V80-1.8 and 22 V80-2.0 MW turbines part of the package

Danish wind turbine giant Vestas has signed a ten-year extension with Puget Sound Energy to service the 429 MW Whiskey Ridge, Wild Horse and Hopkins Ridge wind projects in Washington state in the US.

The projects include servicing 214 V80-1.8 and 22 V80-2.0 MW turbines, and the new service agreement will continue until 2025. Puget Sound Energy is the second-largest wind power utility owner in the US and the largest in the Pacific Northwest region of the nation in terms of renewable energy production.

“Extending this service contract speaks to the strong partnership between Vestas and Puget Sound Energy. Since 2005, we have provided world-class service to their fleet of Vestas wind turbines,” Chris Brown, the president of Vestas’s sales and service division in the US and Canada, said.

“We are proud that Puget Sound Energy continues to trust our dedicated service team to deliver a portfolio management strategy that ensures the greatest long-term optimisation and return on investment for their assets.”
