Vestas has received a 396 MW order in Mexico, for Mareña Renovables project that, once built, will be the largest wind energy project in Latin America and will directly provide electricity to one of the continent’s largest companies. The order consists of 132 units of the V90-3.0 MW turbine. The Mareña Renovables project will be located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the south-eastern region of the State of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico.

The project is a turnkey contract, which means Vestas will provide the entire range of services to build the wind farm, including civil and electrical works, supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines.

Delivery of the turbines will start in the second quarter of 2012.
