Vestas has announced its first firm turbine order of 2024, a 63MW order for a wind farm in Italy, to which it will supply 14 V150-4.5 MW turbines.

Delivery is expected in the first half of 2025, with commissioning planned for the second half of the year. Vestas will then provide service for 10 years.
