Vestas has received a wind farm order for 100 V120-2.2 MW wind turbines for a wind power project in the U.S., which takes Vestas’ order intake in 2018 across the 10 GW mark before entering December. In 2018, Vestas has received orders across six continents, including orders in new markets Panama, Kazakhstan, Bolivia, and Senegal, which underline the strong global demand for wind energy and Vestas’ unparalleled global reach.
