Münster, Germany - In recent days, wind turbine manufacturers Vestas, Siemens Gamesa and Nordex have reported numerous new orders for the construction of wind farms. In total, the orders are for a capacity of more than 2,000 megawatts (MW). With the latest orders, Vestas' order intake in 2020 has already exceeded the 10,000 MW mark. The share prices of the companies are climbing.

Vestas scores in Europe, Russia, the USA and Asia

At the end of the third quarter, Vestas is still reporting a veritable flood of orders. In the current week alone, the Danish wind energy giant has announced 14 orders from North and South America, Russia, Europe, Egypt and Asia with a total output of almost 1,500 MW. This brings Vestas' total incoming orders for 2020 to almost 11,000 MW. In addition to the installation of the systems and commissioning, the orders generally also include long-term service contracts.

With an output of around 490 MW from four orders, the regional focus is on the USA, including two major projects with a capacity of almost 190 MW. The first project with 185 MW comprises the delivery and commissioning of V150 4.2 MW turbines in the output-optimized 4.3 MW mode. As part of the second major order from the USA for 184 MW, Vestas will supply V120-2.2 MW and V110-2.2 MW wind turbines. Vestas has received the two other US orders for a wind farm with 95 MW and the supply of turbine components with a capacity of 22 MW respectively.
