Danish Vestas received its first order in Kazakhstan, the company said on Monday.
Vestas said that Central Asian power-energy company CAPEC Green Energy LLP, a main player on Kazakhstan's renewable energy market, has ordered 52 megawatts of turbines for the Astana wind project.
The Astana wind farm is under construction in a vicinity close to the country's capital, Astana, and comprises supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines, along with a full-scope service agreement.
Wind turbine delivery is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2018.
Once installed, the project will add another market to Vestas' global footprint, which currently spans across 76 markets.
"We have chosen to work with Vestas because their technology combines performance with reliability. They have extensive experience in neighboring markets, and they offer proven technology, especially for low temperature climatic conditions. For us, Vestas is the optimal partner to develop our project," said Bagdat Oral, director of CAPEC Green Energy LLP.
