Vestas has received an order for delivery of 13 V90-2.0 MW wind turbines for the Lucera wind farm in Apulia, Italy.

The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines and a ten-year operation and maintenance agreement. Delivery is scheduled to start in the first half of 2012 and the project will be completed in the third quarter of the year.

The order has been placed by Sea Spa, a company controlled by Repower which is a leading Swiss utility generating electricity at its own plants in Switzerland, Italy and Germany. With a total installed capacity of 47 MW and a broad portfolio of projects in the pipeline, the company is looking into substantially increasing its own generation during the next few years, with a balanced mix of different technologies.
