Vestas offers new wind turbine for domestic market

Danish wind turbine maker Vestas Wind Technologies, the biggest player of its sector in the market worldwide, has introduced the V120-2.0/2.2 MW turbine to the Chinese market as a buildup to China Wind Power 2017, the annual trade fair in China's wind power industry.

The latest turbine, tailor-made for the Chinese market, will boost power generating capacity in low and ultra-low wind environments with its light blade weight, boosting generation capacity by 13 percent compared with its previous model, the V110-2.0/2.2 MW, said Johnny Thomsen, global senior vice-president and head of product management at Vestas.

First deliveries are expected to start in the third quarter of 2018.
