The order includes the supply, installation and commissioning of the turbines; a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution; and a 10-year service and maintenance agreement, with an option for a 15-year extension.

Construction of the wind project is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter, and the three wind farms are expected to enter operation in the third quarter of 2013.
