Strengthening an existing relationship with TagEnergy, Vestas has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for the second stage of the Golden Plains wind farm in Australia. The second stage will feature 93 Vestas EnVentus V162-6.2 MW wind turbines.

Vestas is currently delivering the 756 MW EPC contract for the first stage, consisting of 122 EnVentus V162-6.2 MW machines. The extension will provide an additional 577 MW, generating a total of 1.3 GW, making it Vestas’ largest ever onshore wind farm.
