SPAIN: Vestas has secured a service-contract extension for 114 MW of turbines across four wind farms in Spain.

The extension covers 57 units of the V90-2.0 MW turbine at the following wind-power plants: Mallén in Zaragoza, Sierra del Tineo in Asturias, La Victoria in Cádiz and Matabuey in Salamanca.

The E.ON Climate and Renewables-owned wind farms were installed between 2006 and 2011 and started to generate electricity in June 2006, March 2009, December 2010 and April 2011 respectively.

The service-renewal contract includes the Active Output Management package AOM 5000 for a five-year period, which offers an energy-based guarantee rather than time-base availability guarantee.

"We have opted for the AOM 5000 as it introduces an energy-based guarantee, which clearly differentiates Vestas service offering from other service providers," said Manuel Navarro, operations director, E.ON Climate & Renewables Iberia.

"We believe that Vestas is the right choice for the service and maintenance of our wind farms and that their new service product will give us a more secure return on our investment."
