Madawaska Wind project to use Vestas turbines

The 274 MW Madawaska Wind project in Québec, Canada, has secured a turbine supply agreement with Vestas, advancing the project's construction phase. This deal involves 45 Vestas turbines, specifically comprising 20 units rated at 6.2 MW and 25 units rated at 6 MW. The selection of these high-capacity Vestas models suggests a focus on maximizing energy output from the Québec site. For the Madawaska Wind project, securing equipment from a global leader like Vestas ensures a critical component for its 274 MW capacity is locked in, mitigating supply chain risks for a project already in construction. While the deal value remains undisclosed, the agreement provides Vestas with a new order in the Canadian market, contributing to its global installation pipeline. Boston-based Longroad Energy, the developer, owner, and operator behind the Madawaska Wind project, continues to expand its portfolio with this turbine procurement. Longroad Energy already manages over 4 GW of operating and under-construction utility-scale wind, solar, and battery storage projects, making this 274 MW addition a fit within its established development strategy. Vestas, a global leader in sustainable energy solutions, focuses on designing, installing, and maintaining wind energy projects worldwide, aligning with its commitment to driving the transition to renewable energy. This supply agreement further solidifies Vestas' presence in the North American onshore wind sector, specifically in Québec. The deal demonstrates continued investment in utility-scale onshore wind capacity within Canada, supported by established developers like Longroad Energy and major suppliers such as Vestas.
