Vestas Wind Systems A/S has received an 86 MW order from Sacramento Municipal Utility District to repower the Solano Wind Project Phase 4 wind farm in California, USA. The order consists of 19 V150-4.5 MW wind turbines, which will replace the site's current legacy V47-660 kW wind turbines. With this order, the collective Solano Wind Project will have a total capacity of about 300 MW.

The order includes a full Engineering Procurement Construction contract. Vestas will provide a full turn-key solution with delivery, installation, and commissioning of the turbines. The order also includes a 10-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreement, designed to ensure optimised performance of the asset.

To further strengthen partnership with SMUD and ensure the successful operations of the collective Solano Wind Project, Vestas also extended its multi-year service agreements for the Solano 2 and Solano 3 project phases at the same site. Turbine delivery for Solano 4 begins in the fourth quarter of 2023 with commissioning scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.
