17 October 2008 - Vestas, a global manufacturer of wind power systems, has received an order for five units of its V90-3MW wind turbine for installation in the Ayyildiz project located in the Balikesir Province of Turkey.
The contract includes supply and installation of the turbines, the VestasOnline Business supervisory control and data acquisition solution, as well as a five-year service agreement.
