The French developer has also taken an option on a further 8MW, said the Danish turbine manufacturer.

The firm order includes 24 V90-3.0 MW and eight V80-2.0 MW wind turbines. It was placed under a 2011 framework agreement between the two companies.

Details of the project are not being disclosed at EDF EN’s request, said Vestas.

Vestas added that it expects to sign a service agreement later.
