Vestas has developed a solution that includes 14 V117-3.45 MW turbines equipped with Vestas Low Temperature Operation. With the cold climate option and the turbine variant’s robust design for tough wind sites, the turbines are well-suited for optimal performance in Western Kasakhstan’s dry continental climate with extremely fluctuating temperatures and high wind conditions.
The order follows the installation and commissioning of the Astana I wind project in 2019, marking another important step in developing wind energy generation in Kazakhstan. The project is financed by a leasing agreement between the customer and a financial institution.
“During the realisation of the first phase of the Astana wind project, TSATEK Green Energy LLP has received valuable support from our trusted partner Vestas, with its extensive experience and highly qualified personnel, that fully meets all requirements for the supply and installation of wind turbines in Kazakhstan” said Yedil Saryyev, Director of TSATEK Green Energy LLP. “The decision to cooperate with Vestas has lived up to our expectations, therefore we have mutually increased the project capacity up to 100 MW. As for us, it is an honor that the world leader in wind, Vestas, contributes not only to our project, but also to our country”.
Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe, added that the order from TSATEK Green Energy LLP underlines Vestas’ ability to deliver competitive wind energy solutions for markets with low temperature climatic conditions.
The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 10-year Active Output Management (AOM 4000) service agreement. The project will feature a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution to lower turbine downtime and optimise the energy output. Turbine delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2020.
