Two Colorado companies are teaming up to build more wind farms across the United States.
Danish Vestas Wind Systems, with four manufacturing plants along Colorado’s Front Range, said Friday it’s reached an agreement to supply up to 610 megawatts worth of wind turbines to Broomfield’s Renewable Energy Systems Americas Inc. — better known as RES Americas.
Vestas also announced Friday it had received the first order from the RES supply agreement, for 60 megawatts worth of wind turbines.
The agreement calls for Vestas to supply its V100-2.0 MW turbine for all of RES’s wind farm projects, up to 610 megawatts. Those projects are expected to happen in 2014 and 2015.
The two companies previously worked together building the Cedar Point wind farm near Limon, in eastern Colorado.
The Cedar Point wind farm, which started operations in 2011, has 139 of Vestas’ V90-1.8 megawatt turbines. It’s capable of generating up to 250 megawatts of electricity.
The wind farm was the first large-scale project to use Vestas’s Colorado-made turbines.
Vestas said it couldn’t say where the turbines destined for RES’s projects would go in the United States.
