Vestas Mediterranean, a wholly owned subsidiary of Denmark-based Vestas Wind Systems, has received an order from Parco Eolico Ordona, which is 100% owned by Inergia, for the delivery of 13 units of its V90 2MW wind turbine to be installed in the Apulia region of Italy.
According to the company, the order comprises delivery and installation of the wind turbines, a VestasOnline Business supervisory control and data acquisition system, as well as a five-year service and availability agreement.
