“Since we signed our first major supply agreement with Vestas in 2013, EDF RE has installed more than two gigawatts’ worth of Vestas turbines in the US,” said Tristan Grimbert, the managing director of EDF Renewable Energy.

In addition to construction, Vestas also has an agreement to service the wind park in order to optimise its energy production.
