Vestas will boost its 2MW platform with the launch of the V120-2.2 MW, the Danish onshore wind group announced.

The step up to a 2.2MW nominal rating is an upgrade for the V120-2.0 MW first unveiled last April, and “expands the 2MW platform into medium to low wind conditions with high turbulence”, said the global onshore number-one.

The V120-2.2 MW “includes a stronger gearbox and reinforced blades that strengthen performance in higher wind conditions”.
