Die Auftragserteilung alleine sagt noch nichts über deren Profitabilität aus.
Große Gewinne als Subunternehmer werden nicht zu erwarten sein, allenfalls eine bessere Auslastung der VESTAS-Produktionskapazitäten. Allerdings gibt VESTAS auf diesem Kontinent eine weitere wichtige Visitenkarte ab.
Hier die Veröffentlichung des Generalunternehmers Greengate Power im wortlaut:
Greengate Power Enters into Agreements with Vestas for Canada’s Largest Wind Energy Project
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, June 9, 2011 - Greengate Power Corporation (“Greengate”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Blackspring Ridge IA Wind Project LP and Blackspring Ridge IB Wind Project LP, has entered into turbine supply and long-term service and maintenance agreements with Vestas-Canadian Wind Technology, Inc. (“Vestas”) for its 300 MW Blackspring Ridge I Wind Project (“Blackspring Ridge I”).
Greengate is expecting to begin construction on Blackspring Ridge I in 2012, with a target commercial operation date of 2013. Upon completion, Blackspring Ridge I is expected to be Canada’s largest operating wind energy project.
Under the terms of the turbine supply agreements, Vestas will supply 166 of its V90-1.8 MW wind turbines for Blackspring Ridge I. Deliveries are expected to commence in Q3 2012. Blackspring Ridge I is currently permitted by the Alberta Utilities Commission for this model of Vestas wind turbine.
Pursuant to the terms of the long-term service and maintenance agreements, Vestas will provide ten years of service and maintenance for Blackspring Ridge I at a predetermined cost. The scope of these agreements covers all scheduled and unscheduled service and maintenance relating to the Vestas wind turbines at Blackspring Ridge I.
“Vestas is a world-class turbine manufacturer, and we are pleased to be working with them on this exciting project,” said Dan Balaban, President and CEO of Greengate. “The V90-1.8 MW wind turbine is ideally suited for Blackspring Ridge I, and we expect this to result in the solid financial performance of this project.”
