By Fakhri Vakilov - Trend:

Vestas, one of the world's largest manufacturers of wind generators, has secured aтorder from Kazakh developer TSATEK Green Energy company for the second phase of the Astana wind project, expanding the wind park from 52 MW to 100 MW, Trend reports citing Global News Wire.

For this order, Vestas has developed a solution that includes 14 V117-3.45 MW turbines equipped with Vestas Low Temperature Operation. The turbines are well-suited for optimal performance in Western Kasakhstan’s dry continental climate with extremely fluctuating temperatures and high wind conditions.

Following installation and commissioning of the Astana I wind project in 2019, this order marks another important step in further developing the growth of renewable energy production in Kazakhstan. The project is financed by a leasing agreement between the customer and a financial institution.

“During the realization 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. 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 Vestas, contributes not only to our project, but also to our country in general," said Yedil Saryyev, Director of TSATEK Green Energy.

“This order from TSATEK Green Energy is underlining Vestas’ ability to deliver competitive wind energy solutions also for markets with low temperature climatic conditions. We look forward to maximize the return on investment for our customer by offering a competitive cost of energy and to further develop this promising wind market”, says Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe.

The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of 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 optimize the energy output. Turbine delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2020.
