Vestas closes out year with flurry of orders

Amid a flurry of orders from throughout the globe, Vestas-American Wind Technology has announced two final projects to round out the year that once complete will generate 473 megawatts of electricity. 

Both projects are for undisclosed customers in the United States, but will use blades manufactured in Windsor and nacelles from Vestas’ facility in Brighton. 

Throughout 2024, Vestas announced 3.69 kilowatts of projects in North America throughout the year, including its first U.S. offshore wind project, an 810-megawatt project called Empire Wind in New York.

“We’re pleased to close out 2024 by continuing to deliver significant projects across the U.S. and meet the growing demand for homegrown electricity while strengthening America’s energy independence and security,”  Laura Beane, president, Vestas North America, said in a news release. “We’re also grateful to the expertise of Steelhead Americas for developing this project, a testament to their growing track record of creating meaningful business opportunities for communities across the U.S.”
