This is the third contract signed between the partners in less than two years, totalling 1.2 GW of wind turbines, underlining the strong collaboration between Vestas and Casa dos Ventos. With this deal, Vestas further strengthens its presence in Brazil, where the company have a total order intake of more than 5.5 GW.
