Vestas China, a subsidiary of Vestas Wind Systems, has sold 58 V52-850kW wind turbines to Chinese Datang Tongliao Huolinhe Renewable Power through China National Water Resources & Electric Power Materials & Equipment.

The turbines are for the Zhaqi Phase I wind farm, located in Tongliao, Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region (IMAR). The sale includes supply of the turbines, a VestasOnline Business supervisory control and data acquisition solution and a two-year maintenance and service agreement. Delivery of the turbines is planned to take place from May 2009 until July 2009.

Lars Andersen, president of Vestas China, said: "China Datang is a valued and key partner of Vestas and very forward-looking utility with long-term focus on guaranteed return on their investments in wind power in China.

"Our partnership with Datang dates back to early 2005 when we reached our first sales agreement. I am proud to say that our relationship with Datang has become a true long-term, win-win partnership and that we look forward to many years of successful co-operation."
