Vestas to Build 3.0 Megawatt Wind Turbines in Colorado

Danish-based wind turbine manufacturer Vestas will build its largest turbine to date, the 3.0 megawatt V112 model, in Colorado.

First reported in the Denver Business Journal, "Vestas hopes new model will catch the wind" (Sept. 10, 2010), the 3.0 MW models are targetted to wind farms in the Midwest. Martha Wyrsch, Vestas Americas president, said, "Customer interest has been very high, and we're very excited about bringing the product to market.

According to Vestas, the 3.0 MW V112 model is "designed for onshore low- and medium-wind speed sites and for offshore sites anywhere around the world."
