Upon completion, Vestas will service the wind turbines throughout their life cycle under an Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimized performance of the assets.

Utilitas Wind and Latvenergo AS have signed an agreement for Latvenergo AS to build, own and operate the wind farm.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Latvenergo AS M?rti?š ?akste: “We are delighted to have Vestas involved in our project, one of the leading brands in the industry that we have known since we installed our first WPP turbines in Ainaži in the mid-1990s. We share the same values, since both Latvenergo and Vestas work with the conviction that sustainability is the guiding principle of a responsible business.”

“The need for new renewable energy capacity is significant across the region.
