Vestas has entered into a deal with OX2 to supply 10 turbines for the 33 MW Maevaara 2 wind power plant in northern Sweden.

Under the contract, Vestas will supply, install and commission the V126, 3.3 MW turbines with de-icing system.

The project is the second in Sweden to feature the V126 3.3 MW.

Recently, Nordic renewable energy developer OX2 sold the project to German insurer Allianz SE.

Delivery of the consignment will begin in the second quarter of 2016 with the installation to take place over the second and third quarters.

The contract also includes 15-years of service agreement with Allianz Capital Partners.

Earlier, the company acquired the 24-turbine phase I of the complex.

Once the project is completed, Allianz Capital will own the entire 105-MW Maevaara wind farm.

Vestas has so far shipped about 1,500 turbines to Sweden for various wind projects, contributing nearly 2.4 GW of capacity.

In another initiative, Vestas has won a turbine supply deal for a 36 MW wind project in the Lodzkie region of Poland.

According to the deal, Vestas will be responsible for delivery, installation and commissioning of 12 of its V112 3 MW turbines.

This week, Vestas signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Sindh in the Punjab province of Pakistan for developing pilot wind projects in the country.

Under the agreement, Vestas will provide engineering and technical services to the Government of Sindh, undertaking developmental activities for 100 MW wind farm initially which can be expanded further to 300 MW in later stages.

Vestas has been a first mover in Pakistan, having supplied turbines to one of the first commercial wind farms now in operation.

Since 2000, Swedish production of wind power has increased from 0.5 TWh to 7.1 TWh. The country aims to boost renewable generation by 25 TWh from 2002 to 2020.

Sweden has already travelled halfway to its renewable energy target, due to increased use of wind power and biofuels.
