In the last two months alone, Brazilian power regulators have received requests from three different developers to change layout or swap turbines at their planned projects, and all of them involved a desire to use the same technology – Vestas’ V150 4.2MW platform.

These three wind farms – which haven’t yet been announced by the Danish OEM – will add another 216MW to a 2GW-plus order-book that it has built up since October last year, when the new platform was launched in the country and soon became a sales success story that leaves Vestas on course to be the leading turbine supplier in the country.
