SIMIC, an engineering and construction company based in Italy, has awarded Vestas a 74 MW order for EnVentus wind turbines for Villacidro and Musei wind parks in Sardinia.
The contract is for the supply and installation of 12 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines, along with a 20-year service agreement (20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000)). Turbine delivery is scheduled for the first half of 2024, and commissioning is slated for the second half of the same year.
In 2021, SIMIC placed the first order with Vestas for EnVentus wind turbines in Italy.
This project solidifies Vestas’ prominent position in the Italian market, where it has secured contracts over 2 GW from various auctions and has installed more than 5 GW since 1991.
“With Villacidro and Musei wind parks, SIMIC achieves an important milestone of more than 100 MW of solar and wind installed capacity and confirms its commitment to energy transition and sustainability”, says Giuseppe Ginola, Founder and Managing Director of SIMIC.
“I would like to thank SIMIC for renewing their trust in Vestas’ latest technology. This order showcases the potential of the industry-leading EnVentus platform for the Italian market. Its wide range of customised solutions to suit the needs of each project and its ability to increase the annual energy production allow our customers to optimise their business and succeed in the Italian auction”, says Vestas General Manger Italy and Turkey, Francesco Amati.
